Easy Access to Novel Substituted 6-Aminoimidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridines Using Palladium- and Copper-Catalyzed Aminations

Abstract

Convenient and efficient methods for the preparation of novel 6-aminoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives are reported that utilized palladium- or copper-catalyzed methodology. The crystal structure for 6-N-methylanilinoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 10 is also described.
