Transition Metal Complexes in Organic Synthesis, Part 72: [1] Iron-Mediated Diastereoselective Spiroannelation of Dimethyl Aminomalonate to the 2-Azaspiro[4.5]decane Ring System

Abstract

The iron-mediated diastereoselective spiroannelation of dimethyl aminomalonate opens up a highly efficient route to the 2-azaspiro[4.5]decane ring system.
