Fused heterocylic compounds is a heterocylic compound (eg. Furan) fused with another ring which can be either a carbon ring (benzene) or can be fused with another heterocylic ring(Pyridine,Pyrrole,...etc). Fused heterocyclics can be either 2 fused rings,3 rings or more.
From the famous examples on fused heterocylic compounds:
-Heroin
-Indole
-Morphine
-Carbazole

Fused heterocyclic compounds are molecules containing multiple rings, where at least one of the rings is a heterocycle, meaning it contains atoms other than carbon in its structure. These compounds are formed when two or more rings share one or more common atoms along their edges. They are found in a wide range of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and materials.
Heterocyclic compounds may be aromatic (3 double bonds in the cyclic structure) or nonaromatic.
Organic chemistry is the study of compounds containing carbon, while heterocyclic chemistry focuses specifically on compounds containing atoms other than carbon in the ring structure. Heterocyclic compounds are a subset of organic compounds and often possess unique reactivity and properties due to the presence of heteroatoms in the ring.
Carbon is the element that is present in all four main classes of organic compounds: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Guanine is one of the four main nucleobases found in DNA and RNA, and it pairs with cytosine. It is a heterocyclic compound consisting of a fused pyrimidine-imidazole ring system. Within a DNA double helix, guanine forms hydrogen bonds with cytosine on the opposite strand.
Organic compounds can react with sodium metal to form sodium salts of the organic compounds. This reaction can be used to convert carboxylic acids into their corresponding sodium salts, which are more water-soluble and can be separated easily from organic solvents.
