Direct one-pot synthesis of zolimidine pharmaceutical drug and imidazo[1,2.a]pyridine derivatives via I2/CuO-promoted tandem strategy

An efficient one-pot synthetic protocol was developed for the synthesis of imidazo[ 1,2-a]pyridines from easily available starting materials: Aromatic ketones, α/βunsaturated ketones,β-keto esters and 2- aminopyridines. The present reaction proceeded well in MeOH under the media of I2/CuO. By using...

Summary:An efficient one-pot synthetic protocol was developed for the synthesis of imidazo[ 1,2-a]pyridines from easily available starting materials: Aromatic ketones, α/βunsaturated ketones,β-keto esters and 2- aminopyridines. The present reaction proceeded well in MeOH under the media of I2/CuO. By using this method, the marketed drug zolimidine could be prepared easily with 95% yield. All these target products were characterized by NMR, HRMS and IR spectra. Furthermore, the target compound 3fa was determined bv X-ray crystallographic analysis.
