  • Abstract
    KAl(SO4)2.12H2O is found to efficiently and heterogeneously catalyze the one-pot three-component reaction of 2-(nitromethylene)imidazolidine, malononitrile and aldehydes under mild conditions to afford the corresponding tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine in good yields and short reaction times. Docking study of some compounds in the active site of α-glucosidase demonstrated that these compounds interacted with important active site residues with low binding energy in comparison to standard inhibitor acarbose.
