Reaction Steps

"Simple aldehydes and ketones without activating groups require mildly forcing conditions and produce the fully aromatic pyridines; accordingly, acetophenone, benzaldehyde, and ammonia in refluxing acetic acid gave a 68% yield of 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine and a 25% yield of β-phenylpropionophenone."
