Starting from methyl 5-oxo-6-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-1,2,3,5- tetrahydroindolizine-8-carboxylate, obtained by a Rh(II)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 1-(2-benzenesulfonyl-2-diazoacetyl)pyrrolidin-2-one and methyl acrylate, several indolo- and furano-fused indolizinones were efficiently prepared. In the first case, a palladium-mediated C-N coupling of the triflate with a variety of substituted anilines provided the desired methyl 5-oxo-6-(arylamino)-1,2,3,5-tetrahydroindolizine-8-carboxylates in high yield. Methyl 6-(2-bromophenylamino)-5-oxo-1,2,3,5-tetrahydroindolizine-8-carboxylate as well as its decarboxylated analogue, 6-(2-bromophenylamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H- indolizin-5-one, were synthesized in excellent yield and were found to undergo an intramolecular Heck cyclization to give 1,2,3,6-tetrahydroindolizino[6,7-b] indol-5-ones. To prepare furano-fused indolizinones, methyl 6-hydroxy-5-oxo-1,2, 3,5-tetrahydroindolizine-8-carboxylate was etherified with different allyl halides, and the resultant allyl ethers were subjected to a thermal Claisen rearrangement to give the corresponding methyl 7-allyl-6-hydroxy-5-oxo-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroindolizine-8-carboxylates. Cyclization under Wacker oxidation conditions afforded methyl 2-methyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-oxa-7a-aza-s- indacene-4-carboxylates in near-quantitative yield.
