[Research on heterocyclic compounds. II.- Imidazo ( 1,2-a) pyridin-2-acetic acids]

A series of ethyl imidazo [1,2-a]pyridin-2-acetates was prepared by reaction between several substituted 2-aminopyridines and ethyl-4-bromoacetate. From these esters the corresponding acids were prepared and their anti-inflammatory activity was tested.
