STUDIES IN THE IMIDAZOLE SERIES. 100. SYNTHESIS OF DERIVATIVES OF IMIDAZO[1,2-<i>a</i>]PYRIMIDINE FROM 2-AMINOPYRIMIDINES, METHYL ARYL KETONES, AND HALOGENS

Abstract

We have synthesized imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives by reaction of 2-aminopyrimidines with methyl aryl ketones and halogens (bromine, iodine). Using bromine leads to formation of 6-bromo- and 3,6 dibromo-substituted 2-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines.
