Abstract
A general approach to functionalized 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroindolizines (THIs) is disclosed. The THIs are directly formed from Al(OTf)3-catalyzed, formal homo-Nazarov-type ring-opening cyclizations of N-pyrrolyl cyclopropyl malonamides. The THI products were stable to silica gel chromatography and isolated in up to 97% yield with diastereomeric ratios up to 4.0:1. The cyclization demonstrates good substrate scope as aryl, heteroaryl, gem-dialkyl, heteroatomic, and silylmethyl donor groups on the cyclopropane are tolerated. Moreover, the protocol is both pharmaceutically relevant and environmentally friendly as a cheap, earth-abundant metal catalyst is used along with acetonitrile as a greener solvent.
