Abstract
The synthesis of new multidentate nitrogen-containing ligands is of ongoing interest. In this report, the one-step syntheses of a series of (pyridylalkyl)amine derivatives is described. The reported compounds contain both pyridine rings and sp3-hybridized nitrogen as potential donor sites. The general synthetic method involves a room temperature reaction of mono-, bis-, tris-, or tetrakis(bromomethyl)benzenes with an excess of (pyridylmethyl)amine in tetrahydrofuran. The products can be purified by distillation, chromatography or recrystallization and are obtained in fair to good yields. The advantages of this synthetic method are the procedural simplicity and the ready availability of the starting materials. The applicability of these compounds in supramolecular chemistry is demonstrated by the reaction of two of the described ligands with silver(I) salts.
