Synthesis of indolizinones

Recent Literature

A highly efficient catalyst-free, thermally induced cycloisomerization allows the synthesis of indolizinones from readily available tertiary propargylic alcohols. In addition, this transformation was found to be further expedited by microwave irradiation.

A copper-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 2-pyridyl-substituted propargylic acetates and its derivatives offers 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.

A palladium-catalyzed domino process involving aminopalladation, reductive elimination, and 1,2-shift enables a direct one-pot approach to polysubstituted indolizinones from tertiary propargylic alcohols.
