We report the synthesis of substituted indolizidines and quinolizidines using the modified Julia olefination previously developed on imides. The study focuses on the regioselectivity of this reaction on unsymmetrically substituted imides. The scope and regioselectivity of the reaction are presented here, and its utility as a tool for synthesizing natural products is demonstrated through the total synthesis of Pandalizine A.
