Popis: A sustainable Mn(I)-catalyzed exclusive solvent-dependent functionalization of imidazopyridine with maleimide via an electrophilic metalation at the distal (in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)) and chelation assisted at the proximal (in tetrahydrofuran (THF)) has been developed. The strategy was successfully applied to the drug Zolimidine and a broad range of substrates, thereby reflecting the method’s versatility.
