Highly 2,3-trans stereoselective allylations of 2, 3-O-isopropylidene-protected pyrrolidines: circumventing the N-acyliminium ion chemistry?

Org Lett. 2000 Nov 2;2(22):3513-5. doi: 10.1021/ol006574q.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] A remarkable exo-facial template effect exercised by a 2, 3-O-isopropylidene protective group is the key for the entire 2, 3-trans stereoselectivity observed in the allylsilane addition promoted by BF(3).OEt(2) to 2,3-O-isopropylidene-protected pyrrolidines.
