Heterocyclic Compounds in Flavors and Fragrances Part Ill. Pyridine and Derivatives

While furans (66), pyrroles (68), thiophenes (61), thiazoles (62, 63, 120), oxazoles (65, 57), Iactones (64), pyrazines (55, 56) and their reduced systems were periodically treated, surprisingly, pyridines which are among the most widely distributed volatile flavor compounds have not been described in detail (69). Therefore, the purpose of this review is to fill this gap.
