A novel, multicomponent approach to 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-N,N-dialkylacetamides (very important class of fused heterocyclic derivatives, known to act on central nervous system by enhancing the activity of the GABA) is reported. It is based on the carbonylation reaction of N-Boc-(prop-2-yn-1yl)pyridin-2-amines carried out in the presence of secondary amines (2-3 equiv) under oxidative conditions, using oxygen (from air) as oxidant (4:1 CO-air, total pressure 20 atm) and PdI2/KI as the catalytic system (0.33-1 mol% of PdI2 and 0.5 equiv of KI) in MeCN as the solvent at 100 degrees C. The process leads to the target compounds in good to high yields (67-90%) through an ordered sequence of steps, occurring in situ under the reaction conditions: Boc-deprotection of the substrate is followed by PdI2/KI-catalyzed oxidative monoaminocarbonylation of the terminal triple bond (or vice versa) to give a 2-ynamide intermediate, which then undergoes intramolecular aza-Michael reaction and isomerization.

Metal-free synthesis of substituted imidazole [1,2-alpha]dpyridines from deprotective N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pyridin-2-amines in water is elucidated. Electron releasing substituents on pyridine ring provided pure products in quantitative yields without separation by column chromatography. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A Base Promoted Cyclization of <i>N</i>-Propargylaminopyridines. Synthesis of Imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridine Derivatives
A base promoted cyclization of the protected N-propargylaminopyridines was shown to be an efficient method for the preparation of imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine derivatives. The reactions were carried out with a small excess of base, at room temperature or slightly above producing the heterocyclic products in moderate to good yields. The stereoelectronic properties of substituents on the pyridine ring were shown to influence the cyclization process.
We report herein the silver-catalyzed cycloisomerization of readily available N-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pyridine-2-amines as a new and practical method for the synthesis of differently substituted 3-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. The isomerization reactions proceeded under mild reactions conditions to give good yields and excellent regioselectivity. A DFT-based mechanistic analysis is also reported.
