Rh(III)-Catalyzed Oxidative Annulation Leading to Substituted Indolizines by Cleavage of C(sp(2))-H/C(sp(3))-H Bonds.
Rhodium(III)-catalyzed oxidative annulation reactions of pyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate salts with alkynes leading to substituted indolizines by cleavage of C(sp(2))-H/C(sp(3))-H bonds are developed. The starting materials are readily available, and the reactions have a broad substrate scope. This reaction overcomes some drawbacks of the previous indolizine synthetic methods and provides a new efficient route to indolizine derivatives.
