Abstract
Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines have been successfully synthesized in moderate to good yields via a tandem three-component reaction of ethyl 2-(3-oxo-3-arylpropanethioamido)acetates with aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile by means of microwave irradiation using DABCO as the catalyst. The advantages of this method including high chemo- and regioselectivity make this new strategy highly attractive.
