The synthesis of a variety of enantioenriched 2,2-disubstituted pyrrolidines is described. A stereogenic quaternary center is first formed utilizing an asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction of a benzyloxy imide, which can then be reduced to a chiral hydroxamic acid. This compound can then undergo a thermal “Spino” ring contraction to afford a carbamate protected 2,2-disubstituted pyrrolidine stereospecifically. These pyrrolidines can be further advanced to enantioenriched indolizidine compounds. This reaction sequence allows access to new molecules that could be useful in the development of pharmaceutical agents.
