Abstract

A zinc carbenoid-initiated chain extension reaction provides access to an organometallic intermediate, which can be used to capture activated imines. Deprotection of the nitrogen and reduction provides access to racemic derivatives of β-proline. The relative stereochemistry of the β-proline can be controlled through use of different activating groups on the imine nitrogen.
