Abstract

Abstract: Various 2-substituted indolizines can be directly and selectively lithiated in the 5 position and subsequent reactions with different electrophiles lead to some novel classes of indolizines. In particular, previously unknown 5-formyl-and 5-iodoindolizine have been prepared by this way and the molecular structure of 5-formyl-2-phenylindolizine was confirmed by X-Ray analysis. The reactivity of the 5-CHO-and 5-COPh groups toward ...
