31. For a review on the regioselectivity of nucleophilic addition onto activated pyridines, see: Poddubnyi, I. S. Chem. Heterocycl. Compd. 1995, 31, 682-714. Hard-hard/soft-soft interactions during the nucleophilic addition transition state are proposed to influence regioselectivity in additions onto activated pyridines, and may work in concert with the proposed charge interaction
