Abstract

The first Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed dehydration of 2-hydroxy oxime ethers to generate benzylic stabilized 1-azaallyl cations, which are captured by 1,3-carbonyls, is described. A subsequent addition of primary amines in a sequential three-component reaction affords highly substituted and densely functionalized tetrahydroindeno[2,1- b]pyrroles as single diastereomers with up to quantitative yield. Thus, three new σ-bonds and two vicinal quaternary stereogenic centers are generated in a one-pot operation.
