The Cu-catalyzed three-component reaction between quinolines, diazo compounds, and alkenes has been established for direct construction of indolizine derivatives via quinolinium ylides. This methodology is distinguished by the use of a commercially inexpensive catalyst and readily available starting materials, wide substrate scope, and operational simplicity.
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.
