A large and emergent demand for the pyridine derivatives exists because of their many medicinal, pharmaceutical and agricultural uses. The pyridine derivatives have several considerable biological applications such as anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antiviral, anticancer and antimycobacterial agents. Potential novel routes include the conversions of alkynes, epoxides and alcohols. This review will be of interest for people active in: Organic Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, Transition Metal Chemistry, Stereo selective Synthesis, and Heterocyclic Chemistry.
