Abstract

Sequential inter- and intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloadditions of azomethine ylides are developed for the one-pot and diastereoselective synthesis of highly condensed heterocyclic systems containing pyrrolidine and up to seven stereocenters. It has high synthetic efficiency and operational simplicity, and only water was generated as a byproduct.
