title: Synthesis of 2,4-diarylsubstituted-pyridines through a Ru-catalyzed four component reaction.
abstract: A ruthenium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 2,4-diarylsubstituted pyridines from acetophenones, ammonium acetate and DMF under an oxygen atmosphere is described. The carbon atom situated at C6 of the pyridine ring comes from the methyl group of DMF and the nitrogen atom comes from ammonium acetate.
