Programmable Deconstruction–Reconstruction Enables Divergent Skeletal Editing of Pyridines into Multisubstituted Benzenes
This paper presents a programmable deconstruction–reconstruction strategy that enables the divergent skeletal editing of pyridines into structurally diverse multisubstituted benzenes through controlled single-atom and atom-pair transformations, offering a versatile platform for late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules.
