“…Functionalized pyridines have received considerable recognition over the past few decades for their broad range of biological activities [1,2] . Among them, 2‐amino‐3‐cyanopyridines are known to exhibit numerous biological activities like anti‐bacterial [3] IKK‐β inhibition, [4] A 2A adenosine receptor antagonistic properties, [5] HIV‐1 integrase inhibition, [6] carbonic anhydrase inhibition, [7] antifungal, [8] anti‐inflammatory, [4] anticancer, [9] anti‐parkinsonism properties [6] and many more. Due to the prominence of biologically active pyridine derivatives, their synthesis occupies a pivotal place in organic chemistry and several methods for their synthesis using a variety of catalysts have been developed [10–15] .…”
