1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of cycloimmonium salts and 4-(trimethylsilyl)-3-butyn-2-one to access new functionalized indolizines with potential cytostatic activity

Abstract

This study revealed that 4-(trimethylsilyl)-3-butyn-2-one was an effective dipolarophile in the [3+2] cycloaddition reaction with cycloimmonium salts to obtain non-silicon adducts, namely 1-acetylindolizines. In some cases, two possible isomeric trimethylsilyl-containing...
