Abstract

A highly endo-selective asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of methyl N-benzylideneglycinate as source of azomethine ylides with (E)-acyclic α-enones is catalyzed by a silver(I)/ThioClickFerrophos complex to give highly functionalized endo-4-acyl pyrrolidines in good yields with high enantioselectivities.
