Nitrogen scanning in aryl fragments is a valuable aspect of the drug discovery process, but current strategies require time-intensive, parallel, bottom-up synthesis each pyridyl isomer because lack direct carbon-to-nitrogen (C-to-N) replacement reactions. We report site-directable C-to-N reaction allowing unified access to various pyridine isomers through nitrene-internalization process. In two-step, one-pot procedure, azides are first photochemically converted 3
Recent advances in the physicochemical understanding of thermal transport across molecular junctions single molecules and monolayers are discussed.
Reductive amination has been widely used for manufacturing carbon-nitrogen-containing building blocks. Despite its versatility, the need a chemical reductant or harmful hydrogen gas limited further utilization in modern applications. Here, we report electrochemical reductive (ERA) to pursue sustainable synthetic routes. Faradaic efficiencies of about 83% are achieved using Cu metal electrodes. In-depth electrokinetic studies reveal rate-determining step and overall reaction nature ERA....
A four-step synthesis of trisubstituted pyridines from Baylis-Hillman adducts 1 is reported. The SN2′ reaction products 2 are subjected to combined Michael addition-aldol condensation give 3 which, upon treatment with Cs2CO3, pyridine derivatives 4. scope and limitations this procedure were not widely investigated.
