NUCLEIC ACID COMPONENTS AND THEIR ANALOGUES: A NOVEL AND EFFICIENT METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF A NEW CLASS OF BIPYRIDYL AND BIHETEROCYCLIC-NITRO GEN THIOGLYCOSIDES FROM PYRIDINE-2(1H)-THIONES

ABSTRACT A novel synthesis of a new class of bipyridyl and biheterocyclic-nitrogen thioglycosides utilizing the reactions of heterocyclic substituted pyridine-2(1H)-thiones and α-bromoglucose or α-bromogalactose tetraacetate as starting components is described.
