Abstract
The reaction of nitrones with enals through iminium
activation can be modulated by using cooperative
hydrogen-bonding catalysis to induce the participation of
a nitrone ylide (C-N-C) instead of the classical C-N-O
dipole. As a consequence, N-hydroxypyrrolidines are obtained,
rather than the expected isoxazolidines. The reaction
proceeds smoothly and high enantioselectivities are
observed in all cases. By using the appropriate substrate,
polysubstituted pyrrolidines incorporating quaternary stereocenters
can be efficiently prepared.
