Abstract

Abstract Image

An efficient and one-step synthesis of 3-aminoindolizines or benz[e]indolizines from the reactions of propargyl amines or amides with heteroaryl bromides was developed. This methodology is realized by a tandem reaction using Pd/Cu catalysts, which could catalyze coupling and cycloisomerization reactions in the same vessel.

      In previous work, (E)-2-enynyl pyridines were reported to yield indolizinyl singlet carbenes through base-catalyzed E/Z isomerization followed by a 5-exo-dig pseudocoarctate cyclization. We report herein that in the presence of ethyl acrylate these ...
