The cyanation and formylation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines were developed under copper-mediated oxidative conditions using ammonium iodide and DMF as a nontoxic combined cyano-group source and DMF as a formylation reagent. Mechanistic studies indicate that the cyanation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines proceeds through a two-step sequence: Initial iodination and then cyanation. The cyanation has a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance, and can be safely conducted on a gram scale. A novel copper-mediated formylation using the widely available DMF as the formylation reagent and environmentally friendly molecular oxygen as the oxidant has also been developed. This protocol also provided a convenient approach for the synthesis of clinically used saripidem. This journal is

A new series of DPP-4 inhibitors with imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffold were designed by exploiting scaffold hopping strategy and docking study. Based on docking binding model, structural modifications of 2-benzene ring and pyridine moieties of compound 5a led to the identification of compound 5d with 2, 4-dichlorophenyl group at the 2-position as a potent (IC50 = 0.13 μm), selective (DPP-8/DPP-4 = 215 and DPP-9/DPP-4 = 192) and in vivo efficacious DPP-4 inhibitor. Further, molecular docking revealed that compound 5d could retain key binding features of DPP-4 with the pyridine moiety of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring providing an additional π-π interaction with Phe357 of DPP-4. Compound 5d might be a promising lead for further development of novel DPP-4 inhibitor treating T2DM.
