A new copper‐catalyzed, efficient method for the synthesis of heterodiarylmethanes through the coupling of imidazo[1,2‐ a ]pyridines with indoles employing N,N ‐dimethylformamide as a methylenating reagent has been developed. A library of 3‐(1 H ‐indol‐3‐ylmethyl)‐imidazo[1,2‐ a ]pyridine derivatives has been synthesized under aerobic reaction conditions. This protocol is also applicable for the synthesis of (4‐imidazo[1,2‐ a ]pyridin‐3‐ylmethyl)(phenyl)dimethylamines. The method is highly selective for the hetero‐coupling.
