title: Iodine-mediated cyclization of N-thioacyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-1,2-aminoalcohols and their subsequent condensation leading to the formation of novel bis(1-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridyl)arylmethanes.
abstract: The treatment of N-thioacyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-1,2-aminoalcohols with iodine and pyridine in THF at room temperature for 30 min leads to the formation of bis(1-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridyl)arylmethanes as green solids in good to high yields.
