A three-step sequence for the synthesis of new indolizine derivatives containing 1,4-benzoxazine subunits is presented. Two formyl groups were firstly introduced into 2-arylindolizine via Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. Subsequent aldimine condensation gave regiospecific indolizin-1-imine product, which underwent DMAP-catalyzed cascade reaction with alpha-bromoketones, giving 1-(3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-3-yl)indolizine derivatives in moderate to good yields. A wide range of substrates were tolerated in this reaction. The mechanism for DMAP-catalyzed process was briefly discussed with a tentative catalytic cycle proposed.
