Abstract

The diastereoselective one-pot synthesis of hexahydrocyclopenta[b]pyrrole derivatives (bicycloprolines) has been achieved by base-mediated reactions of (E)-tert-butyl 6-bromo-2-hexenoate with α-imino esters. The catalytic asymmetric version of this process has been efficiently achieved using the Cu(I)/(R)-DTBM-Segphos complex as a catalyst following a two-step 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/intramolecular alkylation sequence.
