Frustrated Lewis pairs in two-dimensional borocarbonitride for the facile synthesis of 3-aminoimidazo[1,2-α]pyridines using TMSCN as an isonitrile substitute

Reusable catalysts are attractive alternatives to the metal-free catalysts accelerating the Groebke–Blackburn–Bienayme reaction for the efficient synthesis of imidazo[1,2-α]pyridines.
