The polymer supported hypochlorite ion is a facile selective oxidizing agent for the oxidation of various alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. Similarly is successfully oxidizes various Hantzsch type 1,4- dihydropyridines to corresponding pyridines.

A variety of 1,3,2-oxazaborolidin-5-ones (OXB) derived from N-sulfonyl amino acids exhibit a high top-face selectivity in complexation with pyridines under thermodynamically controlled conditions.

This work identifies the critical factors when developing a polymer brush vapor phase infiltration process, while also demonstrating use of novel pyridines for area selective purposes.

A panel of docking scaffolds was developed for the known molecular targets of the anticancer agents, thieno[2,3-b]pyridines, in order to glean insight into their mechanism of action. The reported targets are the copper-trafficking antioxidant 1 protein, tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 1, the colchicine binding site in tubulin, adenosine A2A receptor, and, finally, phospholipase C-δ1. According to...

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...

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.

2,7-Disubstituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines were synthesized in good chemical yields by the reaction of enediynones with hydrazine, followed by addition of copper chloride. This reaction can tolerate many functional groups.

A one-pot three component condensation synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines using of various aromatic aldehydes and dipyridil ketone with ammonium acetate in the presence of Lithium chloride as catalyst in good yields under microwave irradiation has been described.
