A series of 2,4,6-triarylpyridines have been prepared using a variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes in the presence of aluminum phosphate (AlPO4) as a heterogeneous catalyst at 120 oC under solvent-free conditions. The present methodology offers several advantages such as excellent yields, simple procedure, shorter reaction times, milder conditions and the catalyst exhibited remarkable reusable activity. Keywords: Aluminum phosphate; 2,4,6-triarylpyridines; One-pot synthesis; Shorter reaction times;  Reusable activity.  © 2010 JSR Publications.

Silica gel-supported polyphosphoric acid (PPA-SiO2) was found to be highly efficient, eco-friendly and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 2,4,6-triarylpyridines through one-pot three-component reaction of acetophenone, aryl aldehydes, and ammonium acetate under solvent-free conditions. This method has several advantages, such as simple procedure with an easy work-up, short reaction times, and high yields. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recycled after a simple work-up, and used at least three times without substantial reduction in its catalytic activity.
