Abstract

Synthetically useful [1, 2-a]-fused pyrroles, eg 2, 3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizidines substituted in the 1-and 7-positions, have been generated by acyl radical cyclisation onto pyrroles using N- (ω-acyl)-radicals generated from acyl-selenide precursors. The protocol does not require high pressures of CO. Mechanistic studies indicate the key role of azo radical initiators as oxidants of the intermediate π-radicals.
