A facile synthesis of 2-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)acetonitriles via FeCl3-catalyzed site-selective C(sp2)-H alkylation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with diazoacetonitrile is presented. This new method features with an environmentally benign catalyst, easily obtainable substrates, and oxidant- and ligand-free reaction conditions. Moreover, the importance of the products thus obtained is showcased by their ready transformation into some synthetically and pharmaceutically interesting products with good efficiency.
A structure-activity relationship study of the affinity of selected imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives, congeners of zolpidem, for the ω1-subtype of the benzodiazepine receptor

A series of 6-substituted 2-aryl-N,N-dimethylimidazol [1,2-a]pyridine-3-acetamides, congeners of zolpidem and alpidem, was synthesized and tested in vitro for binding with the benzodiazepine receptor in the competition with 3H-zolpidem as an ω1-selective radioligand. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and the HOMO and LUMO energies were calculated for the compounds by semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods. The lipophilicity parameter of the compounds, expressed as the logarithm of the octanol-water partition coefficient (log P), was calculated; alternatively, standard values of the Hansch hydrophobic substituent constants π were used. In agreement with earlier investigations on the benzodiazepine receptor ligands with a high preference for the ω1-subtype, a quantitative correlation of the biological data with molecular parameters has revealed a significant dependence (r=0.954) of the binding affinity (IC50) on the deepest MEP minimum, in this case associated with the amide carbonyl oxygen atom. The lipophilicity parameters were found to be of lower significance.
