4-Vinylpyridine (stabilized with hydroquinone)

4-Vinylpyridine is used as a reagent in the synthesis of 4,4'-[9H-Carbazole-3,6-diyldi-(1E)-2,1-ethenediyl]bis[1-methyl-pyridinium Diiodide (C176070); a human quadruplex DNA stabilizer and telomerase inhibitor. 4-Vinylpyridine is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of spiro[cyclopropane[3H]indol]ones as polo-like kinase 4 inhibitors and orally bioavailable antitumor agents.
