PG - 9552-9561 LID - 10.1039/d3ob01636f [doi] AB - Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C(3)N(4)) as a novel heterogeneous catalyst is employed for the visible light-mediated synthesis of the imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines via the oxidative amination of C-H bond at room temperature without the need for any additional solvent. Extensive characterization of the catalyst was performed using techniques such as FT-IR, PXRD, TGA, SEM and EDX analysis. The optimized conditions enabled the successful and expeditious conversion of a wide range of substrates to imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines in good yields; a notable advantage of this catalyst being recyclability, as it can be reused for up to five cycles without significant loss of activity. This feature makes it suitable for gram-scale synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines. Additionally, this approach offers several benefits from a green chemistry perspective as affirmed by its favorable green chemistry metrics (GCM), including low process mass intensity (PMI), low E-factor, high atom economy (AE), and good reaction mass efficiency (RME) relative to existing protocols. In addition, chemical yield (CY), mass intensity (MI), mass productivity (MP) and optimum efficiency were also calculated. This environmentally friendly method offers multiple advantages and represents a significant advancement in the synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines.
