One-pot synthesis of indolizine via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using a sub-equivalent amount of K2Cr2O7 as an efficient oxidant under base free conditions†
Abstract
A one-pot method for synthesizing multi-substituted indolizines from α-halo-carbonyl compounds, pyridines and electron deficient alkenes was developed. A sub-equivalent amount of potassium dichromate was used as an oxidant under base free conditions. The transformation developed should be of economic efficiency.
