Substituted imino- and imidazopyridine derivatives were synthesized via a new one-pot, three-component reaction between benzylidenemalononitriles, malononitrile and amines under catalyst-free conditions at room temperature. When ethylenediamine was used as the amine component of the reaction, dihydro- and tetrahydroimidazopyridines were selectively obtained in good to high yields. On the other hand, the use of benzylamine led to the formation of 2-imino-1,2-dihydropyridine products. The reactions were found to tolerate the presence of electron-donating and withdrawing substituents on the benzylidenemalononitrile reactants. Products of these reactions are crystalline and can be isolated by a simple procedure at room temperature in good yields and with high purity.
