Abstract
Herein, an efficient, one-pot microwave-assisted synthesis of a diverse set of 3-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines is being reported with good yields (40–85%). The method involves electrophilic aromatic bromination using bromodimethylsulfonium ion generated in situ via oxidation of HBr salt by DMSO. This methodology was also applied to the synthesis of related imidazoheterocycles. Copyright © 2014 HeteroCorporation
