ChemInform Abstract: Redox‐Triggered α‐C—H Functionalization of Pyrrolidines: Synthesis of Unsymmetrically 2,5‐Disubstituted Pyrrolidines.

Abstract

The reaction of o‐quinone (I) with pyrrolidine (II) gives the polycyclic N,O‐acetal (III) which can be readily converted to disubstituted pyrrolidines (V) and (VIII).
