Skeletal Remodeling of Pyridines Through Nitrogen Atom Transposition.

Heterocyclic replacements are crucial tools in medicinal chemistry, enhancing the physicochemical properties of lead compounds. Pyridine, a core structural motif in numerous drug candidates, often serves as a key heterocyclic scaffold. Nonetheless, a universally applicable synthetic strategy for the direct conversion of pyridines into a diverse array of other heterocycles has yet to be established.
