Abstract

Diversity-oriented synthesis of the biologically intriguing imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-fused isoquinoline systems from readily available starting materials was achieved through the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé reaction followed by a gold-catalyzed cyclization strategy. The synthetic approach is characterized by mild reaction conditions and a broad substrate scope, allowing for the rapid construction of structurally complex and diverse heterocycles in moderate to good yields.

Keywords: Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé reaction; Ugi reaction; imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines; isoquinolines; multicomponent reaction.
