Abstract

Two complementary Au(I)-catalyzed methods provide ester-substituted indolizines from easily accessible 2-propargyloxypyridines and either acetoacetates or dimethyl malonate. These reactions tolerate a wide range of functionality, allowing for diversification at three distinct positions of the product.
