General description
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.

We describe here a [3+3]-type condensation reaction of O-acetyl ketoximes and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes that is synergistically catalyzed by a copper(I) salt and a secondary ammonium salt (or amine). This redox-neutral reaction allows modular synthesis of a variety of substituted pyridines

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

Without techniques sensitive to complex pore architectures, synthetic efforts to enhance molecular transport in zeolite and other porous materials through hierarchical structuring lack descriptors for their rational design. The power of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) to characterize the pore
