ABSTRACT
We unfold a rapid synthetic protocol for the preparation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine in cyclohexane. This methodology includes several advantages like shorter reaction time, catalyst free, broader substrate scope, and good yields of the desired products. Late stage functionalization of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine has also been performed through C–H bond activation and C–C cross-coupling reactions.
