Decarboxylative Alkenylation of Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines Using α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids via Pd-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization

Abstract

AbstractAn efficient synthesis of alkenylated imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines has been accomplished using imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids adopting C–H functionalization strategy in the presence of palladium acetate, 1,10-phenanthroline, and silver carbonate.
