Triazolopyridine
Triazolopyridine is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triazolopyridines. These are aromatic heterocyclic compounds containing a triazole ring fused to a pyridine ring. Triazolopyridine is used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical drugs due to its versatile chemical structure.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
The chemical structure of triazolopyridine consists of a pyridine ring fused with a triazole ring. The pyridine ring is a six-membered aromatic heterocycle, with five carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom, while the triazole ring is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle, with two carbon atoms and three nitrogen atoms. The fusion of these two rings results in a complex structure with unique chemical properties.
Pharmacological Importance[edit | edit source]
