Preparation of 2-aryl-substituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines and imidazo[4,5-c]pyridines

It is proposed that sulfur be used as the oxidizing agent in the synthesis of 2-arylimidazopyridines from o-diaminopyridines and aromatic (heteroaromatic) aldehydes. Benzyl alcohols and benzylpyridinium salts can be used in place of aldehydes. 2-Phenylimidazopyridines are also formed in the thermal oxidation with sulfur of o-diaminopyridines with a benzyl substituent attached to the ring or exocyclic nitrogen atoms.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 639–645, May, 1987.

A simple method for the synthesis of 2-hetarylimidazopyridines based on the oxidation with sulfur of a mixture of p-diaminopyridine and heterocyclic compounds that contain an active methyl group is proposed. The reaction of diamines with N-oxides of of - and -picolines and the intramolecular oxidative cyclization of 3-amino-4-(2-pyridylmethylamino)pyridine lead to the same result. The PMR spectra of the synthesized 2-pyridylimidazopyridines were studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 940–947, July, 1989.
