Abstract
3-Aminoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines are rapidly synthesized via a facile and mild cyclodehydration mediated by the activation of N-Boc-protected 2-aminopyridine-containing amides by triflic anhydride in the presence of 2-methoxypyridine followed by a clean deprotection-aromatization sequence in the presence of K2CO3. Various functional groups and substitution patterns were tolerated under the optimized procedure.
