Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Regioselective C8-H Acyloxylation of Indolizines with Carboxylic Acids

Abstract

We report the first C8–H bond acyloxylation of indolizines under Ru(II) catalysis using carboxylic acids with high regioselectivity and functional group tolerance. Furthermore, these acyloxylated indolizine derivatives were found to show anticancer activity against MCF-7 cells, with the most potent compound being 3al.
