Abstract

Abstract Image

The copper-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of 2-pyridyl-substituted propargylic acetates and its derivatives are described, which offer an efficient route to C-1 oxygenated indolizines with a wide range of substituents under mild reaction conditions. The presented method could be readily applied to the synthesis of indolizinones through a cyclization/1,2-migration of tertiary propargylic alcohols.
