Abstract
This review article summarizes recent developments and trends in the application of imidates as precursors for the syntheses of heterocyclic systems such as pyrimidine derivatives, quinoline-oxadiazole, triazoles and triazines Also described are less usual examples of applications in which they and their analogies react as monofunctional precursors, or where they have been used as sources of a nitrile carbon atom Their chemical and/or biological properties and potential applications are discussed, along with those of the derived heterocycles
