Abstract

Abstract: We report here an operationally simple copper-catalysed synthesis of imidazoACHTUNGTRENNUNG [1, 2-a] pyridines through CÀH activation with oxidative linkage of two CÀN bonds under very mild conditions using molecular oxygen as a sole oxidant. The process allows the quick assembly of imidazoACHTUNGTRENNUNG [1, 2-a] pyridines including the antiulcer drug zolimidine from inexpensive and readily available 2- ...
