Abstract
In this useful reaction sequence, the authors have first used a protocol for the enantioselective preparation of propargylic alcohols by the catalytic addition of alkynylzinc species to aldehydes. Then, a SN2′ substitution of an α-aminomethylcopper derivative provides aminomethylallenes with high anti stereoselectivity. Finally, their silver-catalyzed cyclization furnishes a new method of the enantioselective preparation of Δ3-pyrrolines, which are an important class of biologically active compounds.
