Abstract

Aromatization of 4-aryl(hetaryl)tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carboxylic acids and their lithium salts by the action of dimethyl sulfoxide has been revealed for the first time. Heating of these compounds in DMSO for 5–7 h at 90–95°C leads to the formation of 4-aryl(hetaryl)imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine derivatives as a result of dehydrogenation and decarboxylation. Heating of the corresponding lithium salts generated in situ (DMSO, 90–95°C, 3–5 h) affords difficultly accessible 4-aryl(hetaryl)imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carboxylic acids.
