We show that N3-MEM-protected imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines undergo efficient C2-functionalisation via direct C-H arylation. Twenty-two substituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines are prepared and iterative, selective elaboration of functionalised imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines gives 2,7- and 2,6-disubstituted derivatives in good yields from common intermediates. Mechanistic observations are consistent with a concerted-metallation-deprotonation mechanism facilitated by coordination of copper(I)iodide to the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine.
