A novel, rapid and efficient route to imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines under ambient, aqueous and metal-free conditions is reported. The NaOH-promoted cycloisomerisations of N-propargylpyridiniums give quantitative yield in a few minutes (10 g scale). A comparison of common green metrics to current routes showed clear improvements, with at least a one order of magnitude increase in space-time-yield.

Fig. 1 A scaled up reaction setup. (a) before reaction; (b) during addition of 1a (zoomed in); (c) phase separation at the end of the reaction (zoomed in).
2-Aminopyridine (6.12 g, 65.0 mmol), propargyl bromide (11.6 g of an 80 wt.% solution in toluene, 78 mmol, 1.2 equiv) and 2-propanol (200 mL) charged to a round bottomed flask and stirred at 50 C for 2 hours. After which, a pale yellow solid precipitated from solution. This was filtered and washed with diethyl ether (2 x 30 mL) followed by drying in vacuo to give product 1a in 11.1 g (52 mmol, 80% isolated yield). To a stirring solution of NaOH (1.90 g, 47.5 mmol) in deionised H2O (70 mL) was added 2-amino-1- (2-propynyl)pyridinium bromide 1a (10.0 g, 47.0 mmol) via powder addition funnel (a) over a period of 5 minutes. Immediately upon addition, the solution phase turned yellow (b – d) and a yellow oil became dispersed as a distinct separate phase (e). The oil (product) was subsequently extracted into EtOAc (2 × 30 mL) (f), dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine 2a as a spectroscopically pure pale yellow oil. Yield: 6.12 g, 98% yield.
