Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry (PHC), Volume 36 is the latest in this annual review series commissioned by the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry (ISHC). Volumes in the series contain both highlights of the previous year’s literature on heterocyclic chemistry and articles on new and developing topics of particular interest to heterocyclic chemists. The highlight chapters in this volume are all written by leading researchers in their fields, and these chapters constitute a systematic survey of the important original material reported in the literature of heterocyclic chemistry in 2023.
As with previous volumes in the series, this update will enable academic and industrial chemists, and advanced students, to keep abreast of developments in heterocyclic chemistry in a convenient way.

About the author
Alan Aitken is a Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of St Andrews, UK. Much of his research activity has been in the area of heterocyclic chemistry and he has been active in the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry, attending all but two of their biennial congresses since 1985, contributing an annual review chapter to Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry since 1990 and being an elected member of their International Advisory Committee 1997–99 and 2011–17. Since 2018, he has been a member of the Executive Committee and Publicity Chair for ISHC.
Justin grew up in Clifton, New Jersey and obtained a dual B. S. in Chemistry and Biology from Muhlenberg College in Allentown Pennsylvania. His Ph.D. studies were conducted at Dartmouth College in the laboratory of Prof. Gordon Gribble with a focus on heterocyclic chemistry and the synthesis of indole-containing natural products. He completed postdoctoral work on the synthesis of diterpenoid natural products and strain-release functionalization at The Scripps Research Institute under the guidance of Prof. Phil Baran. Justin began his independent career at Moffitt Cancer Center where his group focuses on the development of new methods for C–C, C–N, and C–S bond formation, the design of new covalent reactive groups, the total synthesis of bioactive natural products, and the structure-based drug design of small molecule inhibitors and PROTACS.
