AbstractAn effective method for the construction of a multi‐functionalized pyridine motif of indolizine using the [4+2] annulation pathway involves tandem Knoevenagel‐aldol cyclization as a critical step in the process. The production of an indolizine scaffold with a hydroxy group at the C6 position and an ethyl ester/aldehyde group at the C7 position was successfully accomplished using this approach with an excellent yield, with the use of a reagent that contains active methylene and operates under mild conditions. This straightforward and simple protocol allows extensions of the core moiety in a quick and dependable manner.
