Abstract

3-Arylindolizines were prepared by one-pot domino reactions from benzyl halides with pyridine (or isoquinoline) and cyclic or acyclic dihalide-substituted electron-deficient alkenes in the presence of potassium carbonate via in situ generated N-ylide intermediate. Both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups are tolerated in the aryl ring of benzyl halides. The yields range from moderate to high.

Key words

N-ylides - indolizine polycycles - 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions - one-pot reaction - electron-deficient alkenes
