However, the use of a denitration reaction in the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines has not been reported. We report here the iron-catalyzed synthesis of 3-methyl-2-arylimidazo [1,2-a] pyridine derivatives from aminopyridines and 2-methyl-nitroolefins. The procedure, using FeCl2 as catalyst, is simple and inexpensive. Various functional groups are tolerated and provide the products in good yields.

Chem.–Asian J. 2012; 7: 2028 23 Typical Procedure for the Preparation of 3-Methyl-2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine: A test tube was charged with 1a (0.34 mmol), 2a (0.41 mmol) and FeCl2 (3.81 mg, 0.03 mmol). Then DMF (2 mL) was added to the reaction system. The reaction was stirred at 150 °C for 7 h. After cooling to r.t., the solvent was diluted with EtOAc (10 mL) and washed with brine (5 mL) and dried over anhyd Na2SO4. After the solvent was evaporated in vacuo, the residues were purified by column chromatography, eluting with PE–EtOAc to afford pure 3aa (57 mg, 80%) as a white solid; mp 140–142 °C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.78–7.84 (m, 3 H), 7.62 (d, J = 9.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.45 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.31–7.34 (m, 1 H), 7.11–7.15 (m, 1 H), 6.78 (t, J = 6.8 Hz, 1 H), 2.58 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 144.2, 142.2, 134.7, 128.3, 128.2, 127.2, 123.3, 122.7, 117.2, 115.7, 111.8, 9.45.
