Photocatalyst-free decarboxylative aminoalkylation of imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridines with <i>N</i>-aryl glycines enabled by visible light

Abstract

A novel, green and efficient visible-light-promoted decarboxylative aminoalkylation reaction of imidazo[1,2-<italic>a</italic>]pyridines with <italic>N</italic>-aryl glycines has been described.
