Abstract

A Brønsted-acid-catalyzed intramolecular enantioselective SN2′ reaction was developed utilizing trichloroacetimidate  as a leaving group. The findings indicated that dual activation of the substrates is operative. This metal-free  allylic alkylation allows highly enantioselective access to 2-vinylpyrrolidines bearing various substituents.
