The 3-oxide of 2-p-nitrophenylimidazopyridine (8) may be obtained in good yield by base-induced cyclisation of 2-nitro-3-(p-nitrobenzylamino)pyridine (18).It is also obtained in lower yield, along with p-nitrobenzoic acid and other cleavage products, by the corresponding reactions of bases with the N-ethoxycarbonyl, N-methylsulphonyl, and N-p-tolylsulphonyl derivatives of 2-nitro-3-(p-nitrobenzylamino)pyridine .Cleavage is the main reaction when N-(2-nitro-3-pyridyl)-N-phenacylmethanesulphonamide (17) is treated with bases: phenylglyoxal, or its Schiff base with 3-amino-2-nitropyridine, are possible intermediates in the cleavage process. 3-Nitro-2-(p-nitrobenzylamino)pyridine (31) is similarly cyclised in basic media to give the 1-oxide of 2-p-nitrophenylimidazopyridine (32).
