Abstract
The combination of flavin and iodine catalyzes an aerobic oxidative C-N bond-forming process for the facile synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. This dual catalytic system can also be applied to the one-pot, three-step synthesis of 3-thioimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from aminopyridines, ketones, and thiols.
