Abstract
The synthesis of (±)-Indolizidine167B has been accomplished in 4 steps and 13.5 % overall yield from 4-carboxyethyl-4-(pyrrol-1-yl)butanal (1) via successive manipulations of 5,6-dihydroindolizine intermediates and final diastereoselective hydrogenation .
Keywords: 4-pyrrolylbutanal, intramolecular cyclodehydration, indolizidine 167b, 5,6-dihydroindolizines
