Abstract
A novel palladium-catalyzed C-3 acylation of indolizines with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids via C-H bond and C═C double bond cleavage under oxidative conditions is described. The regioselectivity is assisted by the carboxylic group, and the selection of the oxidant is crucial to the reaction.
