An efficient synthesis of 2,4,6-triarylpyridines is achieved via a three-component reaction of acetophenone, aryl aldehydes and ammonium acetate in one-pot under solvent-free conditions. The reaction work-up is very simple and the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and reused three times in subsequent reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
