Electrochemically-initiated intramolecular 1,2-amino oxygenation of alkynes: facile access to formyl- and acyl-substituted indolizines

Abstract

An environmentally benign electrooxidative approach to the intramolecular aminooxygenation of alkynes through an electrophilic cyclization reaction has been developed, providing an efficient approach toward diverse formyl- and acyl-substituted indolizines.
