Structural and vibrational properties of imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine, a structural unit in natural products

Rh(iii)-catalyzed cyclization reaction of azoles with alkynes: efficient synthesis of azole-fused-pyridines

A Rh(iii)-catalyzed cyclization of azoles with alkynes has been developed to construct azole-fused-pyridines in good to excellent yields.

Copper- and palladium-catalyzed amidation reactions for the synthesis of substituted imidazo[4,5-c]pyridines

Imidazo[4,5-c]pyridines were synthesized in three steps utilizing a palladium-catalyzed amidation/cyclization strategy. N-Aryl substrates were synthesized using copper-catalyzed amidation of 3-amino-N-Boc-4-chloropyridine. Complementary protocols for the selective chlorination of imidazo[4,5-c]pyridines at the C2 and C7 positions were also developed.
