FIRST FORMATION OF THIEPINO[2,3-b]- AND THIEPINO[3,2-a]- INDOLIZINE DERIVATIVES

摘要

The reactions of potassium 1,3-bis(efnoxycarbonyl)indolizine-2-thiolates with ethyl 4-bromocrotonate afforded the corresponding indolizine derivatives having (E)-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-propenyl)thio, (E)- and (Z)-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-propenyl)thio group at the 2-position. The alkaline treatment of these S-alkylated indolizines gave the title compounds in good yields.
