Abstract

Pyridinium dicyanomethylides underwent site-and regioslective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with ethyl 2,3-pentadienoate to give ethyl 3-cyano-2-ethylindolizine-1-carboxylates in moderate yields. In two cases, a novel type of the tricyclc compounds, in addition to indolizines, were obtained whose structure was established by a single crystal X-Ray analysis. A plausible mechanism for its formation is also presented.
