Abstract
A process for preparing imidazopyridine derivatives of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group, and R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are identical or different and are hydrogen, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group or a halogen atom. In this process, a 2-amino-3-nitropyridine is hydrogenated in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst and the hydrogenation product is condensed with a carboxylic acid simultaneously present in the reaction mixture to give the end product. The imidazopyridine derivatives are intermediates for the preparation of angiotensin II antagonists.
