title: Cu(I)-catalyzed synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from aminopyridines and nitroolefins using air as the oxidant.
abstract: A copper-catalyzed method for the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with aminopyridines and nitroolefins using air as oxidation agent in a one-pot procedure has been developed. In this process, the reaction appears to be very general and suitable for construction of a variety of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines.
