A new Au(I)-catalyzed method for the preparation of trisubstituted indolizines from easily accessible 2-propargyloxy-pyridines is reported. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functionality, allowing for diversity to be introduced in four distinct regions of the product (R, R 1 , R 2 , and Ar). The proposed mechanism proceeds via enol addition to an allenamide intermediate and explains the observed increase in yields when electron poor methyl ketones are utilized.
