Three-component solvent-free synthesis of highly substituted tetra-hydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines

Abstract

An efficient and green method has been developed for the synthesis of tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines by three-component reactions of heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs), triethoxymethane and nitroalkenes in one pot in the absence of catalyst and solvent. This protocol has advantages of environmental friendliness, high yields (73–93%), short reaction time and convenient operation.
