Methods for the production of o-, m-, and p-pyridinophanes containing only one pyridine ring and an allcarbon polymethylene chain are reviewed.Pyridinophanes are bridged compounds of pyridines in which a polymethylene chain links the o-(2,3-and 3,4-), m-(2,4-, 3,5-, and 2,6-), and p-(2,5-) positions of the ring. All these forms are represented by structures (I-IV), where n is the number of links in the polymethylene chain [1, 2].
