title: One-pot synthesis of 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-α]pyridines from acetophenone, [Bmim]Br(3) and 2-aminopyridine under solvent-free conditions.
abstract: One-pot synthesis of 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-&#945;]pyridines from acetophenone, [Bmim]Br(3) and 2-aminopyridine under solvent-free conditions in the presence of Na(2)CO(3), gave the corresponding 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-&#945;]pyridines in excellent yields ranging  from 72% to 89%.
