Derivatization of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffolds have gained considerable attention due to the biological significance of therapeutics based on the imidazopyridine core. By utilizing a catalyst-free, “Mannich type” reaction, we developed a simple and efficient protocol to aminomethylate the C-3 position of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine through a multicomponent, de-carboxylation reaction involving imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, a secondary amine, and glyoxylic acid. The developed protocol re-quires mild reaction conditions and furnishes diverse imid-azo[1,2-a]pyridine analogues from commercially available starting materials. Additionally, the current protocol improves prior methods, which were limited by the amine substrate scope. Taken together, this current methodology permits rapid diversification of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines to enhance combinatorial efficiency in the drug discovery processes.

The present work describes the solvent and catalyst-free synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in excellent to nearly quantitative yields from 2-aminopyridines and a wide variety of ω-bromomethylketones using a grindstone procedure at 25°C to 30°C for 3 to

An inexpensive and commercially available Tf2NH-catalyzed 1,6-conjugate addition of imidazopyridine (IMPY) heterocycles to para-quinone methides (p-QMs) is reported. The present transformation provides a diverse class of C3-functionalized triarylmethanes heterocyclic derivatives of imidazopyridine. These metal-free transformations provided a very broad substrate scope of conjugate addition product with a high yield up to 97% within a short duration.

In this work, a series of phenacyl bromide derivatives was synthesized and employed as key intermediate for the synthesis of substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. First, phenacyl bromide molecules were obtained from the bromination reaction of acetophenones assisted by microwave irradiation, obtaining the products 4a-v in a 15 minutes reaction with yields in the range of 50% to 99%. Subsequently, the conjugation of these molecules with 2-aminopyridine conduced to the production of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives (7a-v) in a 60-second reaction with yields of 24% to 99%. Improved yields were determined with respect to those obtained with more tedious methodologies like thermally and mechanically assisted routes. Intense luminescence emissions in the purple and blue regions of the electromagnetic spectra were observed under UV excitation according to the nature of the substituents. This environmentally friendly methodology is expected to constitute an important class of organic compounds for the development of biomarkers, photochemical sensors, and medicinal applications.
