Its catalytic activity has been evaluated in a cascade reaction involving 2-aminopyridine, aldehyde, and terminal alkyne. A bunch of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines was synthesized efficiently in high yields and the catalyst is easily recyclable without significant loss of catalytic activity. The catalyst structure was established by X-ray crystallography.
