Alkylated imidazopyridines are crucial structures formedicinalchemistry. Here, an efficient method for the C3-H alkylationof imidazopyridines was devised. Under Lewis acid-catalyzed conditions,reactions of imidazopyridines with different donor-acceptorcyclopropanes were carried out. Finally, 1,3-bisfunctionalizaton ofdonor-acceptor cyclopropanes was performed. In addition, synthesizedC3-alkylated imidazopyridines are amenable for diverse synthetic applications.
