Synthesis of derivatives of α-phenyldinicotinic acid and 2-phenyl-3,5-bis(5-phenyl-2-oxazolyl)-pyridine

The dichloride, diethylamide, and amide were obtained from α-phenyldinicotinic acid. 2-Phenyl-3,5-diamino- and 3,5-dicyanopyridine were synthesized from the amide. 2-Phenyl-3,5-bis(5-phenyl-2-oxazolyl)pyridine and 2-phenyl-3-carboxy-5-(5-phenyl-2-oxazolyl)pyridine were obtained. The luminescence properties of the synthesized compounds were studied. © 1990 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
