Abstract
Herein an improved protocol for the synthesis of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines and imidazo[4,5-b]pyrazines using a palladium-catalyzed amidation that utilizes Xantphos as an ancillary phosphine ligand is reported. The use of a binary solvent system comprised of 1,4-dioxane and tert-amyl alcohol was crucial in eliminating unwanted by-products.
