A simple and novel route to the synthesis of imidazopyridines was developed. The present work involves the synthesis of 6-bromo-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (3) by using microwave irradiation. The synthesized compound (3) was well characterized by NMR, IR, LCMS and elemental analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
