Abstract

Amides are shown to be eflcient precursors to nitrilium ions, which may cyclize onto styryl terminators to form pyrrolines. Comparison of several cyclization substrates defines the steric and stereoelectronic scope and liminations of the process. Appropriately functionalized pyrrolines may be reduced with chiral borohydrides and further elaborated to nonracemic pyrrolizidines and indolizidines.
