Recent Developments in the Synthesis and Applications of Pyridines

Recent Developments in the Synthesis and Applications of Pyridines is a comprehensive handbook for organic chemists working on innovative approaches to the synthesis of pyridines. Written by scientists in both academia and industry and designed to be a standalone reference, the book features reviews, research results and case studies on synthetic methods and applications of pyridine-based chemotypes. The book will bridge the gap between industry and academia by presenting recent innovative approaches to the synthesis of pyridines, diverse application of pyridines in drug development, heterogeneous catalysis and material science, as well as benchtop to shelf narratives of pyridine-based compounds in the industry.

The role of computational chemistry in the development of pyridine-based bioactive molecules is also included. This reference is essential for researchers in organic chemistry both in academic and industrial settings, postgraduates in chemistry and medicinal chemistry.
