Stereoselective Synthesis of Pyrrolidines from N-Allyl Oxazolidines via Hydrozirconation−Cyclization

Abstract
[reaction: see text] A new diastereoselective synthesis of pyrrolidines from readily available chiral N-allyl oxazolidines is presented. The construction of the pyrrolidine ring is achieved via a tandem hydrozirconation-stereoselective Lewis acid mediated cyclization sequence.
