Propylphosphonic acid anhydride has been successfully used as a coupling agent in the synthesis of a series of indolizine-2-carboxamido derivatives from indolizine-2-carboxylic acid and its 3-acetylated analogue. The acid substrates were obtained by saponification of the corresponding methyl esters produced, in turn, selectively and efficiently, by time-controlled cyclisation of a single Morita–Baylis–Hillman adduct. Various amino and hydrazino compounds with medicinal potential have been used to prepare indolizine-2-carboxamido and hydrazido derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
