• ] The allylsilyl functional group is a weak carbon nucleophile for trapping N-acyliminium ions, thus providing a useful method for intramolecular carbon-carbon bond formation. [28][29] We have applied this methodology towards the synthesis of indolizidine alkaloids. (vide supra) We describe here a new
