Abstract

Successive nucleophilic and electrophilic allylation of a bis-Boc-carbonate derived from 2-methylene-1,3-propane diol provides enantiomerically enriched 2,4-disubstituted pyrrolidines. An initial enantioselective iridium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenative carbonyl C-allylation is followed by Tsuji-Trost N-allylation using 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide and a Mitsunobu cyclization.
