We report a highly practical one-pot method for synthesizing multi-substituted indolizines from α-halide carbonyl compounds, pyridines and electron deficient alkenes in the presence of copper acetate monohydrate and sodium acetate in DMF. A variety of function groups are tolerable in standard reaction conditions, including aldehyde. 36 examples were presented. The yield of indolizine was from moderate to high. Furthermore, multi-substituted indolizines can be prepared at gram scale by this method.
