8 – Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine Heterocycles synthesis
This paper describes a protocol for imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acids synthesis directly from condensation of substituted 2-aminopyridines and bromopyruvic acid. The recipe is applicable to a wide range of aminopyridines and can be telescoped with an amide formation to obtain Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxamides in one continuous process.
