Nitration of 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and its N-methyl derivatives at 0-5 degrees C and 60 degrees C gives 5-nitro- and 5,6-dinitro-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, respectively. The latter can also be obtained by nitration of 5-mononitro derivatives under similar conditions. The nitration of 6-chloro- and 6-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones and their N-methyl-substituted analogs leads to the formation of the corresponding 6-chloro(bromo)-5 -nitro compounds. The same products are formed in the nitration of 5,6-dichloro- and 5,6-dibromo-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones. In this case, the process involves replacement of the halogen atom in position 5 of the pyridine fragment by nitro group. The nitration of 6-bromo-5-methyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one is accompanied by oxidation of the 5-methyl group to carboxy.

Halogenation of 2-unsubstituted and 2-methylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines and their N-methyl derivatives with bromine and chlorine in acetic acid takes different pathways, depending on the acetic acid concentration. The bromination in 50% aqueous acetic acid gives only 6-bromoimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines; bromination and chlorination of 2-unsubstituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines in glacial acetic acid leads to 5,6-dibromo(dichloro)imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones, and bromination of 2-methylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines in glacial acetic acid involves both the pyridine ring and the 2-methyl group to afford the corresponding 6-bromo-2-tribromomethylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridines.
