Abstract
A useful synthesis of five-membered N-heterocycles has been developed through an iridium-catalyzed domino-ring-opening cyclization of vinylaziridines with β-ketocarbonyls. α-Substituted 1,3-dicarbonyls reacted with vinylaziridines to give 2-methylenepyrrolidines bearing two adjacent sp3-carbon centers with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity, while the reaction of α-unsubstituted 1,3-dicarbonyls afforded 2-pyrrolines in good yield.
