In a new and environmentally sustainable approach, a series of 2-arylimidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridine derivatives were synthesized in aqueous media in the presence of iodine as a catalyst. The reaction proceeded by condensation of various aryl methyl ketones with 2-aminopyridines to afford 2-arylimidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridines in good overall yields. Although several of the reactions were efficiently performed "on water", the addition of a surfactant, namely, sodium dodecyl sulphate , was found effe ...[more]
