Article Synopsis
- The study explored the reactions of aromatic compounds with elemental chalcogens, specifically focusing on 3-substituted imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines, using a copper salt (CuTC) and molecular oxygen, which resulted in high yields of bisimidazopyridyl sulfides.
- It was found that a polar solvent like DMSO was essential for enhancing the reaction, and different aromatic compounds showed specific reactivity patterns, such as indole reacting at the C3 position.
- The research also demonstrated that similar reactions with selenium produced bisimidazopyridyl diselenides and monoselenides, and these diselenides could further be converted alongside imidazopyridines to form oligomeric
