Catalyst-Free Regioselective C-3 Nitrosation of Imidazopyridines with tert -Butyl Nitrite under Neutral Conditions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-0035-1560508

We have successfully developed a novel and efficient catalyst-free method for the synthesis of 3-nitroso-substituted imidazopyridines, from readily available imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and tert-butyl nitrite, in good to excellent yields. Importantly, the use
