Straightforward synthesis of various 2,3-diarylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in peg400 medium through one-pot condensation and C-H arylation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/ejoc.201402079

PEG₄₀₀ is described herein as a suitable medium for the condensation of various 2-amino pyridines with α-bromo ketones. 2-Arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines were synthetized in a short time through microwave irradiation in moderate to excellent yields
