Reactions of N-pyridinium phenancylides with different a, β-unsaturated ketones give 2,4,6-triarylsubstituted pyridines, 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2-pyridyl) pyridines, 2-benzylidene-4,6-diphenyl pyridines and 2,4,6-triphenyl-3-bromopyridine. Ammonium acetate in acetic acid was used as cyclization agent. The structure of the products are supported by IR and NMR spectra.
