DIASTEREOSELECTIVE INTRODUCTION OF AN ALLYL GROUP TO THE ALPHA'-POSITION OF ALPHA-SUBSTITUTED PYRROLIDINES THROUGH THE INTERMEDIATE FORMATION OF N-ACYLIMINIUM IONS
An allyl group was introduced to the alpha'-position of alpha-substituted pyrrolidines and the stereoselectivity of the allylation was investigated. High diastereoselectivities were achieved by modifying the alpha-substituents or the functional groups located at the nitrogen atom of pyrrolidine ring.
