Abstract

Conjugate addition of homochiral lithium amides to methyl 4-(N-benzyl-N-allylamino) but-2-enoate, chemoselective N-deprotection and concomitant cyclisation, followed by enolate functionalisation and deprotection allows access to syn- and anti-3,4-disubstituted aminopyrrolidines in > 98% d.e. and >98% e.e.
