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 some nucleophiles has been examined, and some additional classes of derivatives (oximes and alcohols) have been obtained. The possibility of Suzuki cross-coupling of 5-iodoindolizines and boronic acids was proven.
