Abstract An efficient and convenient approach for the Ni(II)-catalyzed ortho-C(sp2)-H alkynylation using 8-aminoimidazo[1,2-a] pyridine (8-AIP) as a directing group in the absence of any ligand and oxidant is described here. The developed protocol represents Ni(II)-catalyzed route to a broad spectrum of alkynylbenzamides, ensures site selectivity and diverse functional group compatibility. Various control experiments were performed to underpin the mechanistic pathway. Moreover, late-stage modifications of the synthesized derivatives are demonstrated to reveal the efficacy of 8-AIP as a useful directing group.
