Abstract

Highly efficient molecular-iodine-catalyzed chalcogenations (S and Se) of imidazo{[}1,2-a] pyridines were achieved by using diorganoyl dichalcogenides under solventf-ree conditions. This approach afforded the desired products that had been chalcogenated regioselectively at the C3 position in up to 96% yield by using DMSO as an oxidant, in the absence of a metal catalyst, and under an inert atmosphere. This mild, green approach allowed the preparation of different types of chalcogenated imidazo{[}1,2-a] pyridines with structural diversity. Furthermore, the current protocol was also extended to other N-heterocyclic cores. (AU)
