70. Several other solution-based syntheses were also attempted using a variety of solvents: ethoxyethanol/water, acetic acid, toluene, and glycerol, in each case, both in the presence and absence of silver ions. These reactions led either to intractable mixtures or, at best, to evidence of products containing N∧C-bound diphenylpyridine, after chromatographic purification.
