“…One of the main directions of the use of thioamide 1 is the preparation of a wide range of S,Nheterocyclic compounds, the most important of which are 3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thiones 2 [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] (Scheme 1). Compounds 2 are a convenient scaffolds for the synthesis of a wide range of thieno [2,3-b]pyridines [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], thiazolo [3,2-a]pyridines [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], pyrido [2,1-b] [1,3,5]thiadiazines [30 -34], dipyrido[1,2-a:1'2'-e] [1,3,5,7]tetrazocines [35], pyrido [1,2-a] [1,3,5] triazines [36], isothiazolo [5,4-b]pyridines [37][38][39][40], and other bi-and polycyclic structures.…”
