2,6-Pyridinedicarbonyl chloride was used as the reagent during the synthesis of pyridine-based polyamido-polyester optically active macrocycles. It was used as starting reagent during the synthesis of pyridine-bridged 2,6-bis-carboxamide Schiff′s bases. It was used in the synthesis of N,N′-bis(1-pyrenylmethyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide. 2,6-Pyridinedicarbonyl chloride was used as the reagent during the synthesis of pyridine-based polyamido-polyester optically active macrocycles.
