  ABSTRACT: Montmorillonite K10 catalyzed synthesis of 2,4,6 triaryl pyridine under solvent free condition is described. Montmorillonite effectively catalyzed the reaction in good to excellent yields. Using this solid catalyst, the reactions could be carried out in a short period of time with very good yield of triaryl pyridines, up to 97% under solvent free condition. This catalyst could be recycled very easily, which makes this methodology environmentally benign. The catalyst is active over three cycles.
