When 3-acetyl-l-allylpyrrole (1) was subjected under hydroformylation conditions, with Rh-4(CO)(12) as catalyst precursor, to 30 atm CO/H-2 (1:1) total pressure and 140 degrees C, an equimolar mixture of the isomeric 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroindolizines 4' and 5' was obtained as the almost exclusive product. In both cases a domino hydroformylation/cyclization on the alpha pyrrole positions by the aldehyde 3 carbonyl group occurs which involves different intermediates: while 4' is generated via the dihydroindolizine 4, 5' forms via direct reduction of 8-hydroxytetrahydroindolizine 5, a structure that has never been observed before from 1-allylpyrroles under oxo conditions.
