Using 2-acetylpyridine, sodium hydroxide and 2-cyanopyridine, 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)pyrimidine (L1) was synthesized in good yield. Similarly, 2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-6-(3-pyridyl)pyrimidine (L2) and 2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-6-(4-pyridyl)pyrimidine (L3) were also synthesized by using resp. acetylpyridine. 2-Acetylpyridine reacted with sodium hydroxide to produce 2-oxo-2-(2-pyridyl)-1-ethanide, which behaves as a nucleophile towards 2-cyanopyridine. All three pyrimidines are potential multidentate ligand and by using L1 complexes of composition [Ni(L1)(H2O)3](NO3)2·4H2O (1), [Ni(L1)2](NO3)2·2H2O (2) and [Co(L1)2](NO3)2·1.5H2O (3) were isolated and structurally characterized. In 1-3, L1 behaves as a tridentate pincer type ligand, DFT calculations performed on L1-L3 indicate that energy difference between HOMO and LUMO is 4.544, 4.643 and 4.533 eV, resp. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4-Acetylpyridine(cas: 1122-54-9Quality Control of 4-Acetylpyridine)
4-Acetylpyridine(cas: 1122-54-9) belongs to pyridine. Pyridines are often used as catalysts or reagents; particular notice has been paid recently to how pyridine coordinates to metal centers enabling a wide range of valuable reactions. Quality Control of 4-Acetylpyridine
