Diastereoselective C-H bond amination for disubstituted pyrrolidines

Matthew J. T. Wilding, Diana A Iovan, Theodore Alexander Betley, Yunjung Baek, Elisabeth T. Hennessy
We report herein on the improved diastereoselective synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines from aliphatic azides. Experimental and theoretical studies of the C-H amination reaction mediated by the iron dipyrrinato complex (AdL)FeCl(OEt2) provided a model for diastereoinduction and allowed for systematic variation of the catalyst to enhance selectivity. Among the iron alkoxide and aryloxide catalysts evaluated, the iron-phenoxide complex exhibited superior performance towards the generation of syn 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines with high diastereoselectivity.
