Scriven, Eric F. V., Toomey, Joseph E., Jr., and Murugan, Ramiah (Reilly Industries, Inc.). Commercial manufacture, industrial chemistry, and market uses of pyridine and pyridine compounds are reviewed. Pyridines often serve as intermediates for manufacture of products that are bioactive, such as medicinals, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Significant end products for these market applications are identified. Important physical properties are also listed. Discussion of manufacture includes raw materials used, energy utilization, economics, toxicity of compounds, and safety factors. Vol. 20, pp. 641–679, 110 refs. to September 1994.
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.
