摘要:
                                In the title compound, C24H19NO, the methoxy group attached at C3 avoids steric hindrance with the neighbouring phenyl rings by emerging almost orthogonally from the pyridine ring [C2-C3-O31-C31 -95.3(2)degrees]. The phenyl rings show a disrotatory arrangement and the angles between them and the pyridyl ring range from 22.66(6) to 47.91(5)degrees, whereas these angles differ by only approximately 6 degrees in 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine.
