4-Azulen-1-yl substituted 2,6-dimethyl-and 2,6-diphenyl-pyridines are obtained in good yields from the reaction of corresponding 4-azulen-1-yl-pyranylium salts and ammonium acetate in ethanol or starting from 4-chloro-2,6-diphenyl-pyranylium salts in two steps: reaction with azulenes followed by in situ treatment with ammonium acetate. The effect of substitution at the 3-position of the heterocycle was taken into account. The structure assignment was accomplished with NMR and uv-vis spectra.
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.
