Recent Developments in the Synthesis and Applications of Pyridines　is a comprehensive　handbook　for　organic chemists　working on innovative approaches to the synthesis of pyridines.　Written　by scientists in both academia and industry and designed to be a standalone reference, the book　features　reviews, research results and case studies　on　synthetic methods　and　applications　of pyridine-based　chemotypes.　The book will　bridge　the gap between industry and academia by presenting　recent innovative approaches to the synthesis of pyridines,　diverse application of pyridines in drug development, heterogeneous catalysis and material science, as well as benchtop to shelf narratives of pyridine-based compounds in the industry. The role of computational chemistry in the development of pyridine-based bioactive molecules　is also included. This reference is essential for researchers　in organic chemistry both in academic and industrial settings, postgraduates in chemistry and medicinal chemistry. - Includes a detailed review of recent research on the reactivity, synthesis and applications of pyridines - Features concise accounts of the reactivity, synthetic and optimized protocols - Discusses the medicinal, inorganic and polymer chemistry applications of pyridines
