CARBON FUNCTIONALIZATIONS ON PYRIDINE RING VIA TRIMETHYLSTANNYL DERIVATIVES---AN EXAMPLE OF FUSARIC ACID SYNTHESIS---

Article abstract of DOI:10.3987/COM-94-7012

Method for introduction of two types of carbon functional groups, acyl and tert-butoxycarbonyl groups, in pyridine ring via bis(trimethylstannyl)pyridine (1) is explored.Application of this method to the synthesis of fusaric acid (1) is also described.
