Abstract:
An efficient reagent-controlled approach for the regiospecific synthesis of new 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives in high-temperature water via microwave-assisted multicomponent reactions of aldehydes, 3-aryl-3-oxopropanenitrile, 2-acetylpyridine, and ammonium acetate is reported. Furthermore, aromatic aldehydes reacted with 1,2-diphenylethanone, resulting in structurally complex penta-arylpyridines. This chemistry provides an efficient and promising synthetic strategy to diversity-oriented construct poly arylpyridine skeleton.

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is more stable, the...
