Description
Summary:Treatment of a N-2-pyridyl-β-ketoamide precursor with bromine afforded the first example of the 3-aryl(α-hydroxy)methylenelimidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridin-2(3<i>H</i>)-one framework. This transformation proceeded through a domino process comprising an initial bromination, cyclization via an intramolecular S<sub>N</sub> reaction, and a final keto-enol tautomerism, and allows generation of the fused heterocyclic system and installation of the acyl substituent in a single operation.
