Stereoselective synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines via gold-catalysed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination-initiated tandem reactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Aug 15;55(67):9923-9926. doi: 10.1039/c9cc05295j.

Abstract

A series of gold-catalysed intramolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroamination-initiated azidation, allylation and heteroarylation reactions of chiral homopropargyl sulfonamides have been developed. Various enantioenriched 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines are obtained in moderate to excellent yields with excellent enantioselectivities and generally high diastereoselectivities.
