Abstract

N-Tosyl-5,5-divinyloxazolidin-2-one undergoes a palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cyclization across a range of electrophilic alkenes to give the corresponding pyrrolidine derivatives bearing two contiguous quaternary centres. Alkenes bearing two electron-withdrawing groups are required; pyrrolidines were not formed from mono-activated alkenes. Bulky, electron-rich phosphines promote pyrrolidine formation with less highly electrophilic, doubly activated alkenes, and a dramatic improvement is observed in the presence of iodide. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
