Abstract
The syntheses of 2,3-dihydro-8-fluoro-6-trifluoromethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbonitrile (2), 8-fluoro-6-trifluoromethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbonitrile (9) and 5-oxo-8-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3,5-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbonitrile (3) are described. These compounds are constructed in a stepwise approach starting from the properly substituted 2-halopyridines.
