A mild, catalytic, atom economical synthesis of imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridines has been developed: catalytic PicAuCl<sub>2</sub> in the presence of an acid produces a range imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridines in good yield. This strategy is mild and forseen to be of particular use for the installation of stereogenic centers adjacent to the imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridine ring without loss of enantiomeric excess. ...[more]
