2,4-Bis(2,5-dipropyloxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine (6), obtained by a one-pot reaction of enone 3, ketone 4 and ammonium acetate (5), is characterized by its molecular structure in the crystalline state, which deviates far from planarity. The interplanar angles of the three benzene rings amount up to 46○ in relation to the central pyridine ring.
Key words: 2,4,6-Triarylpyridines, Interplanar Angles, Cross-conjugation
