A novel class of 3-substituted pyridinium salts have been synthesised in high yield by a convenient two-step procedure. A new synthetic pathway to 1-substituted benzimidazolium salts has been developed and the effects of the anionic component of the salts have been studied.
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.
