Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclic reaction via a pi-allylpalladium complex provided an indolizidine skeleton in satisfactory high and reproducible yields by using allylic compound having an acetoxyl group as a leaving group. These results must be available for syntheses of various functional indolizidine alkaloids.
