General description

Crystal of 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine has the molecules related by a c-glide-plane operation. Molecules are arranged into stacks along the c axis. It participates in the synthesis of dicationic imidazolium-linked cyclophane.

Application

2,6-Bis(bromomethyl)pyridine may be used in the preparation of the following:
  • a new pyridine-pyrazole derivative, 2,6-bis(3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine
  • a large macrocyclic ligand, N(1),N(7)-pyridine-2,6-dimethyl-N(2),N(6)-bis(6-(3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)propanamido)pyridin-2-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide dibromide
  • small-ring, potentially tridentate Se(2)N(pyridyl)-donor macrocycles

The tridentate ligand 2,6-bis(3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine, abbreviated as 2,6-[(3,5-ph₂pz-CH₂)₂-py], a new pyridine-pyrazole derivative, was prepared from 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine and 3,5-diphenylpyrazole. The ligand was characterized by means of elemental analyses, ATR-IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Using this ligand, a
