ONE-STEP SYNTHESIS OF -TRIBENZYL-2,11,20-TRIAZA[3.3.3](2,6)PYRIDINOPHANE - REINVESTIGATION OF THE REACTION OF BENZYLAMINE WITH 2,6-BIS(BROMOMETHYL)PYRIDINE
G. Lee et al., ONE-STEP SYNTHESIS OF -TRIBENZYL-2,11,20-TRIAZA[3.3.3](2,6)PYRIDINOPHANE - REINVESTIGATION OF THE REACTION OF BENZYLAMINE WITH 2,6-BIS(BROMOMETHYL)PYRIDINE, Chemistry Letters, (10), 1996, pp. 873-874
The reaction of benzylamine with 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine has now
been found to provide the trimeric title compound as the major product
instead of the reported dimer. When the reaction was conducted in two
steps, a new tetrameric pyridinophane was isolated as the major produ
