Four models of halogen bonds were used to quantify this bond using the DFT B97D/6-311+G(d) computational level: para-substituted iodobenzenes, paraand meta-substituted bromobenzenes complexed with three simple Lewis bases (NH3, NCH and CNH), 1-bromo-4-substituted-bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes with NH3 and 3and 4-substituted pyridines complexed with BrCl and BrF. In addition, the combination of the para...

Polar, noncentrosymmetric packing of directional, 1-D hydrogen-bonded networks of chiral, 4-amino-2,6-bis(oxazolinyl)pyridines (ampybox) occurs for isopropyl-substituted ampybox; in contrast, 1-D networks of methyl-substituted ampybox pack in an antiparallel arrangement.

the highly substituted pyridine derivatives are found to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. they are also emerged as potential medicinal leads in developing therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases. in this work, a series of 2-amino-3,5-dicarbonitrile-6-thio-pyridine derivatives have been synthesized at room temperature via one-pot, multi-component reaction of various a...

Acids to bases: The synthesis of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridines from (phenylthio)acetic acid and a range of α,β-unsaturated ketimines is reported. This process proceeds by intermolecular Michael addition/lactamization, thiophenol elimination, and N- to O-sulfonyl migration, giving 2-sulfonate-substituted pyridines which are readily derivatized to generate structural diversity.

BACKGROUND The formation of novel N-substituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro[1,3]-dioxolo-[6,7]-5H-[1]benzopyrano [3,4-c]pyridines were observed unexpectedly during the acid-mediated ketal removal of ethylenedioxy ketal protected 4-piperidones. The literature revealed that benzopyranopyridine derivatives are of scientific interest and some exhibit interesting biological activities. Diastereomeric resolut...

The loss of cytochrome P-450 in cultured rat hepatocytes can be prevented by substituted pyridines, especially isonicotinamide, 3-hydroxypyridine and metyrapone. The effect of these compounds is independent of protein synthesis, suggesting that they maintain pre-existing cytochrome P-450. The efficiency of pyridines at maintaining cytochrome P-450 in hepatocyte culture is highly correlated with...

A variety of heteroaromatic compounds, such as substituted pyridines, pyrazoles, indoles, 2-substituted imidazoles, 2-substituted imidazoles, 2-arylbenzazoles and pyrimidin-2(1H)-ones are synthesized by oxidative aromatization using the activated carbon and molecular oxygen system. Mechanistic study focused on the role of activated carbon in the synthesis of 2-arylbenzazoles is also discussed. ...

The reaction of 3-oxo-3-phenyl-2-phenylhydrazonal with functionally substituted and heteroaromatic substituted acetonitrile to yield arylazonicotinic acid derivatives and 5-arylsubstituted pyridines was established. In some cases the produced nicotinates could not be isolated as they underwent thermally induced 6π-electrocyclization yielding polynuclear pyridine derivatives.

A class of monoorganoimido-substituted hexamolybdates containing a pyridine group have been firstly synthesized. Furthermore, a reaction protocol of alkylation based on the resulting pyridine-functionalized hexamolybdates has been developed, with which a type of zwitterionic clusters has been successfully obtained.

Microwave-assisted double decarboxylative Claisen rearrangement of bis(allyl) 2-tosylmalonates provides substituted 1,6-heptadienes, which may be alkylated, and then converted into pyridines by ozonolysis followed by reaction with ammonia generated in situ under microwave conditions.
