The biological, therapeutic, and medicinal properties of nicotinonitriles (cyanopyridines) and its analogues have prompted enormous research aimed at developing synthetic routes to these heterocyles. This review presents a systematic and comprehensive survey of the method of preparation, the chemical reactivity, and biological properties associated with this system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
