Scientific paper

About 30 molecules have been identified in extended massive circumstellar envelopes of late type stars from millimetre and infrared observations. Their abundances contain important clues on nucleosynthesis and evolution of the stars, and physical and chemical conditions in different types of envelopes. The main chemical processes there are briefly reviewed. Submillimetre astronomy will allow to explore the unknown behavior of basic species (C, C+, O, H2O, etc.) throughout the whole envelopes, as well as the detailed composition of the relatively warm intermediate layers.
