It is used in organic syntheses and as pharmaceutical intermediates. The best results were obtained with lactams that could be introduced on the 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine. 1,2-dihydro-5-imidazo [1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl-6-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile hydrochloride monohydrate 6 was synthesized in 5 steps from 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a] pyridine using [2- 14 C] cyanoacetamide as the source of the radiolabel.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
