Abstract
This paper describes an efficient and diastereoselective method for preparing 2-substituted-2,5-dihydropyrroles in racemic and optically active form via acid catalysed or microwave assisted aminolysis of vinyl epoxides with allyl amine followed by ring-closing metathesis. Using this method, (1R,2S,7R,7aR)-1,2,7-trihydroxypyrrolizidine could be prepared by elaboration of a chiral 2-substitited-2,5-dihydropyrrole.
Key words
