Regio- and diastereoselective construction of a new set of functionalized pyrrolidine, spiropyrrolidine and spiropyrrolizidine scaffolds appended with aryl- and heteroaryl moieties via the azomethine ylide cycloadditions
Highly regio- and diastereoselective syntheses of a new set of functionalized pyrrolidines, spiro-pyrrolidine/pyrrolizidine oxindoles, spiroacenaphthylenolyl-pyrrolidines/pyrrolizidines and spiro-1,3-indandionolyl-pyrrolidines/pyrrolizidines appended with various aryl- and heteroaryl moieties via the azomethine ylide cycloaddition reaction are reported. The Ag-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine
