The enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of stabilized azomethine ylides, generated from iminoesters, with maleimides was efficiently achieved by intermediacy of an equimolar mixture of chiral (R)- or (S)-Binap and AgClO4. The high stability of the titled catalytic metal-complex to light exposure and its insolubility in toluene made possible its recovery and reutilization in other new process. In order to get a better understanding of the behavior of these chiral catalysts, we have carried out DFT1 calculations demonstrating the experimentally observed high enantio- and endo-selectivity through a very asynchronous transition state.

Stereodivergent syntheses of cis/trans pyrrolidino[3,4:1,2]fullerenes and endo/exo pyrrolidines are reported with high enantioselectivity levels. Fullerenes are revealed as a useful benchmark to develop suitable catalysts to control the stereochemical outcome and to shed light on the mechanism involved in the related 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.
