Description

Yangyang Ma and co-authors report, in a 2024 paper, a new route to building indolizines, a ring system valued in drug and materials chemistry, using a fluorinated starting block. Their key ingredient is a peroxide carrying two fluorine atoms, which serves as a two-carbon building unit. Paired with pyridinium ylides under mild, base-guided conditions, it closes the second ring in a single annulation step. The trick adds fluorine-bearing decoration that older routes struggle to install.

The method delivered a broad range of multi-substituted indolizines in moderate to good yields. Many useful side groups survived the reaction untouched, widening the menu of products. The authors present the fluorinated peroxide as a fresh building block for this ring family. Such routes help chemists tune the electronic character of ring compounds for screening work.
