Pyridine (Pyr) is a nitrogen-containing six-membered heterocyclic compound that is commonly used as a solvent in organic synthesis. It also has wide applications as a base, catalyst, and intermediate for synthesis.
Application
Pyridine can be used as a solvent:
To synthesize glycophospholipids and phosphate diesters or phosphonate monoesters in the presence of trichloroacetonitrile as an activating reagent.
In Knoevenagel condensation reactions.
In the TEMPO-mediated radical polymerization of 3-vinylpyridine.

Pyridine-based ligands, such as 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline, have gained much interest in the fields of supramolecular chemistry as well as materials science. The appealing optoelectronic properties of their complexes with heavy d(6) transition metal ions, such as Ru(ii), Os(II), Re(I)
We report the synthesis, characterization, and solution chemistry of a series of new Fe(II) complexes based on the tetradentate ligand N-methyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridyl-methyl)-1,2-diaminoethane or the pentadentate ones N,N',N'-tris(2-pyridyl-methyl)-1,2-diaminoethane and N,N',N'-tris(2-pyridyl-methyl)-1,3-diaminopropane, modified by propynyl or methoxyphenyltriazolyl groups on the amino functions. Six of
The reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) with monomeric chromium(II) precursors was used to prepare the S = 1 complexes Cr(tBu-acac)2(bpy) (1) and (η(5)-Cp)(η(1)-Cp)Cr(bpy) (3), as well as the S = 2 compound Cr[N(SiMe3)2]2(bpy) (4). The crystallographically determined bond lengths indicate that

Allosteric modulators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGlu5) have exciting potential as therapeutic agents for multiple brain disorders. Translational studies with mGlu5 modulators have relied on mGlu5 allosteric site positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands to assess receptor occupancy
