A novel three-component one-pot synthesis of 1H-imidazol-4-yl-pyridines

Org Lett. 2005 Jan 6;7(1):39-42. doi: 10.1021/ol0480269.

Abstract

A novel three-component, one-pot condensation yielding 1H-imidazol-4-yl-pyridines from aldehydes, o-picolylamines, and isocyanides is described. The scope and limitations of the reaction have been investigated.
