✦ Synopsis
The synthetic access to indolizidines, substituted in C-5 position, was reported with good diastereoselectivity. The strategy developed was based on a key step of Michael addition associated with a Clauson-Kaas condensation.

The enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-indolizidine 167B is described. The key step is the intramolecular cyclization of the chiral N-acyliminium ion 6. Indolizidine 167B was obtained in 7 steps and 17% yield from ethyl (R)-3-aminohexanoate, with an enantiomeric excess of 93%.
