Herein, we described the NH4I-catalyzed C-H bond chalcogenation of N-heteroaryls in the presence of a minimum amount of DMSO/H2O/acetic acid as additives (2.5/2.5/1 M equiv., respectively), under metal-free conditions. Under optimized conditions, a wide variety of sulfenyl/selenyl imidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridines were prepared in very good yields. Moreover, the present approach was also highly efficient for the chalcogenation of different 5-membered N-heteroaryls, e.g., indole, imidazothiazole, indazole and imidazopyrimidine derivatives.
