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 sp 3-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 ( ...
