Fluconazole immobilised on modified Fe3O4–SiO2 core–shell nanoparticles was synthesised, characterised and used as a catalyst in synthesis of 3-aryl and 3-amino-imidazo[1,2-
A range of 2- or 3-substituted imidazo[1,2- a]pyridines were prepared from 2-aminopyridine derivatives and gem-dibromovinyl compounds by the tandem nucleophilic substitution (or nucleophilic addition)/cyclisation reaction.
