The conditions of the synthesis of the four regioisomers of ethyl 3-aminofuropyridine-2-carboxylate are described and discussed in detail. The starting materials are either 1-chloro-2-cyanopyridines or 1-cyano-2-hydroxypyridines.
fused-ring systems - cyclizations - nitriles - aryl alcohols - nucleophilic aromatic substitutions
