Abstract:
The methods of synthesis of imidazopyrimidines with a bridgehead nitrogen atom, namely imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidines, and their benzo-analogues, are examined, particular attention being devoted to methods of synthesis of preparative value. Certain theoretical problems associated with the formation of these heterocyclic condensed systems are discussed. The bibliography includes 157 references.
