Reaction Steps

In air, to a solution of 2,4,6-triphenylaniline (0.964 g, 3.00 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (0.326 g, 0.290 mL, 3.05 mmol, 1.02 equiv). After heating at reflux for 20 h with azeotropic removal of water using a Dean-Stark trap, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by trituration with hexanes and dried in vacuo to give the title compound as a yellow solid (1.18 g, 96% yield).
