Ligand-free Pd-catalysed decarboxylative arylation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acids with aryl bromides

Abstract

A facile ligand-free method for Pd(OAc)2 catalysed decarboxylative arylation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acids with hetero(aryl) bromides has been developed. This method is applicable to a variety of (hetero)aryl bromides as coupling partners. Electron withdrawing and donating groups on imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acids are well tolerated. It represents the first general protocol for ligand-free Pd(OAc)2 catalysed decarboxylative arylation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acids with (hetero)aryl halides. A few of the compounds synthesized using this protocol showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.
