N-Allyl-2-bromo- and N-allyl-2-chloropyridinium halides react with malonodinitrile and thiazolyl derivatives of acetonitrile in the presence of a twofold excess of triethylamine to provide nucleophilic substitution products, which undergo Thorpe cyclization smoothly upon treatment with KOH to give the corresponding 2-amino-3-vinylindolizines.
