The synthesis of densely functionalized N-heterocycles is an ongoing challenge in chemical synthesis. Herein, we report an efficient method for the construction of pyrrolidine and piperidine scaffolds using a palladium-catalyzed carboamination of alkylidenecyclopropanes.
Keywords: aminoarylation; carboamination; homogeneous catalysis; nitrogen heterocycles; palladium catalysis.
