A metal-free sequential one-pot three-component protocol is described for the synthesis of C3-functionalized imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. A successive construction of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine I (R = 4-MeC6H4, 2-naphthyl, 2-thienyl, etc.; R1 = SMe, naphthalen-1-ylsulfanyl, pyridin-2-ylsulfanyl, etc.; X = H, 6-Br, 6-Cl, 7-Me, 8-Me) followed by iodine-catalyzed sulfenylation has been achieved in a one-pot operation from readily available α-bromomethyl ketones RC(O)CH2Br, 2-aminopyridines II and thiosulfonates R1S(O)2Ar (Ar = C6H5, 1-naphthyl, 2-thienyl, etc.). An immense array of 3-sulfenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines I was obtained in good to high yields. Also, the method is extended for the synthesis of C3-halogenated imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines I (R1 = Br, Cl) using sodium halides NaY in the presence of K2S2O8. Notably, the reaction between α-bromomethyl ketones and 2-aminopyridines in the presence of K2S2O8 to yields 3-bromo-2-aryl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines I (R1 = Br), thus implying α-bromomethyl ketones to be served as brominating agent. Overall, the present sequential one-pot protocol is straightforward, operationally simple, tolerates a broad range of functional groups, and is reliable for gram-scale experiments In the experimental materials used by the author, we found 1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7Application of 882-33-7)
1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7) belongs to ethers.Although ethers resist hydrolysis, they are cleaved by hydrobromic acid and hydroiodic acid. Hydrogen chloride cleaves ethers only slowly. Application of 882-33-7
