Selective, C-3 Friedel-Crafts acylation to generate functionally diverse, acetylated Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives

Abstract: Carbon-carbon bonds are integral for pharmaceutical discovery and development. Frequently, C–C bond reactions utilize expensive catalyst/ligand combinations and/or are low yielding, which can increase time and expenditures in pharmaceutical development. To enhance C–C bond formation protocols, we developed a highly efficient, selective, and combinatorially applicable Friedel-Crafts acylation to acetylate the C-3 position of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. The reaction, catalyzed by aluminum chloride, is both cost eff… Show more

“…Acylation reaction is a fundamental and valuable transformation in organic synthesis and is often employed in manufacturing various pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agrochemicals. Furthermore, acylated compounds are of great interest because they have demonstrated utility as functional substrates in constructing more complex structures with remarkable biological and physicochemical properties. Many strategies have been developed to incorporate the acyl group into aromatic compounds, such as radical transformations, ,, metal acylation, and the well-established Friedel–Crafts acylation. However, except for formylation reactions, very few approaches are used to acetylate or acylate N -heteroaromatic rings. These scaffolds are of considerable interest due to their frequent biological and photophysical applications. …”

“…Significant advancement has been made to modify the C‐3 position of imidazo[1,2‐ a ]pyridine using alkylation, thiocyanation, nucleophilic addition,, arylation or alkenylation, fluorination, and acetylation . However, aminomethylation at the C‐3 position of imidazo[1,2‐ a ]pyridine is rare with only two reports in the literature , .…”

“…As part of our continued efforts to develop C‐C and C‐N bond formation reactions, particularly with imidazopyridines,, , we investigated the use of a Mannich‐like reaction for C‐3 aminomethylation of imidazo[1,2‐ a ]pyridines. Previously, the Mannich reaction has served as a tool to functionalize electron dense heterocycles and phenols using formaldehyde as a methylene source via acid catalyzed alkyl‐amination .…”
