The chemical compounds ethyl imidazo[1,2-
a]pyridine-2-carboxylate (1a), ethyl 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-
a]pyridine-2-carboxylate (1b), imidazo[1,2-
a]pyridine-2-carbonitrile (2a) and 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-
a]pyridine-2-carbonitrile (2b) were prepared according to previously reported procedures.
20 ,21 ,25 ,26 The quantities were scaled up in the range of grams to enable early evaluation in exploratory toxicology studies. The compounds were identified through their physical constants as well as spectroscopic data. IR spectra were obtained on a Perkin Elmer
Spectrum 2000 FT-IR Spectrometer. Melting points were determined on an Electrothermal IA9000 melting point apparatus and were uncorrected.
1H and
13C NMR spectra were recorded in either deuterated chloroform (CDCl
3) or deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d
6). Spectra were obtained on either a Varian Mercury NMR 300 MHz or a Varian NMR system 500 spectrometer.
The compounds imidazo[1,2-
a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (3a), 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-
a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (3b), and 2-(
N-cyclopropyl)-3-nitroimidazo[1,2-
a]pyridine (4) included in the present study were taken from the same batches reported previously during the investigation of anti-inflammatory activity.
