Significance

A regioselective, reasonably efficient synthesis of 3-acylated indolizines by reaction of 2-picolinium salts with the modified Brede­rick-type reagent derived from DMF-Me2SO4 is reported. A small selection of functional groups was tolerated. This method provides the desired compounds of type A selectively in comparison with the product from the Chichibabin cyclo­condensation product type B (A. E. Chichi­babin, F. N. Stepanov Chem. Ber. 1929, 62B, 1068).
