Synthetic applications of nitropyridine derivatives.

A number of substituted 3-nitropyridines are now easily available by a new nitration method, and some of these derivatives are suitable substrates for the preparation of a series of bis-heterocycles. We will investigate the chemistry of nitropyridyl deriv atives further and propose to utilise 3-n...
