Abstract

The reaction of 5-amino-1H-imidazoles with 3-methoxalylchromone provided a set of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines (1-des­azapurines) bearing the CO2Me substituent at the α-position of the pyridine core. The corresponding acids were synthesized by subsequent hydrolysis of the ester function. Being typical purine isos­teres, 1-desazapurines are considered to be potent pharmacophores, and are widely used in drug design and medicinal chemistry.

Key words

3-methoxalylchromone - 5-aminoimidazoles - imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines - 1-desazapurines - cyclocondensations
