The C–H borylation of indolizines has not previously been reported. In this communication, we describe our preliminary efforts to apply this chemistry to this scaffold and contrast this approach to directed metalation. Through these methodologies, it was possible obtain a library of substituted indolizines functionalized on both the pyridinic and pyrrole rings.
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.
