One-pot C-N/C-C bond formation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) with tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) has been achieved to furnish benzo-fused indolizines. These reactions involve a MgI 2 -catalyzed ring opening of DACs and oxidative annulation using Mn(OAc) 3 ·2H 2 O. The substrate scope and functional group diversity are the important practical features.
