A three-component condensation reaction between 2-aminopyridine, an al
dehyde and an isonitrile catalyzed by scandium triflate affords deriva
tives of 3-aminoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine; aminopyrazine reacts similarly
. A library of heterocycles, prepared in high yield by parallel synthe
sis and purification on an ion-exchange resin, was subjected to furthe
r reactions at the amino group. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science
