University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

I became interested in heterocyclic chemistry in general and thiophene chemistry in particular, around 1996. Luckily, I came across The Chemistry of Heterocycles by Eicher, Theophil and Seigmund Hauptmann. I was very glad to have started with this book. All my undergraduate research students have benefited from it too. My understanding of this field was very much enhanced by reading this book, and am still learning.
