Palladium-catalyzed C3-selective C-H oxidative carbonylation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with CO and alcohols: a way to access esters was written by Wang, Shoucai;Zhang, Siyu;Liu, Meichen;Zang, Jiawang;Jiang, Guangbin;Ji, Fanghua. And the article was included in Organic Chemistry Frontiers in 2020.Category: imidazoles-derivatives This article mentions the following:
A palladium-catalyzed C3-selective C-H oxidative carbonylation for the synthesis of various esters such as I [R1 = H, Ph, 2-thienyl, etc.; R2 = H, 8-Me, 7-CN, etc.; R3 = Me, Et, Bn, etc.] from imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, CO and alcs. with high efficiency and high atom economy was developed. This process featured excellent functional-group tolerance and was safely conducted on a gram scale. This reaction also facilitated the convenient synthesis of clin. used saripidem. Moreover, several natural products such as leaf alc., phytol, nerol and tetrahydrogeraniol were well tolerated, delivering the desired products in good to excellent yields. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 6-Nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (cas: 25045-82-3Category: imidazoles-derivatives).
6-Nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (cas: 25045-82-3) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Imidazole derivatives generally have good solubility in protic solvents. Simple imidazole derivatives, such as 1H-imidazole, 2-methyl-1H-imidazole, and 1,2-dimethylimidazole, have very high solubility in water. Many drugs contain an imidazole ring, such as certain antifungal drugs, the nitroimidazole series of antibiotics, and the sedative midazolam.Category: imidazoles-derivatives
