The reaction of 3‐(2‐pyridyl)methylene‐2,4‐pentanedione with acetic anhydride gives at 60° 1‐(1‐acetoxy‐3‐methyl‐2‐indolizinyl)ethanone ( 3a ) or, in the presence of 2,4‐pentanedione, 3‐(2‐acetyl‐3‐methyl‐7‐indolizinyI)‐2,4‐pentanedione ( 7a ) in good yield. In refluxing acetic anhydride, 1‐(3‐methyl‐2‐indolizinyl)ethanone ( 4a ) is the main product. In refluxing dimethyl sulfoxide the cycloaddition product, 3‐[2‐acetyl‐3‐(2‐pyridyl)‐l‐indolizinyl)]‐2,4‐pentanedione ( 6 ), is obtained. Ethyl 2‐(2‐pyridyl)methylene‐3‐oxobutanoate and ethyl 2‐(2‐pyridyl)methylene‐3‐oxo‐3‐phenylpropanoate behave analogously. The stereochemistry of the keto esters has a marked influence on the course of cyclization. The mechanisms are discussed.
