Abstract
An efficient alkene aza-Cope-Mannich cyclization between 2-hydroxy homoallyl tosylamine and aldehydes in the presence of iron(III) salts gives 3-alkyl-1-tosyl pyrrolidines in good yields via a γ-unsaturated iminium ion, 2-azonia-[3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, and intramolecular Mannich reaction. The cyclization of 2-hydroxy homopropargyl tosylamines gives dihydro-1H-pyrroles.

Note
The process works with a stoichiometric or catalytic version at iron (III). The catalytic version relies on an iron catalyst system formed from iron(III) salts and trimethylsilyl halide.
