title: Regioselective Rh-catalyzed allylic amination/ring-closing metathesis approach to monocyclic azacycles: diastereospecific construction of 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolines.
abstract: [formula: see text] Regioselective rhodium-catalyzed allylic amination followed by ring-closing metathesis, using the Grubbs' catalyst, provides an expeditious route to monosubstituted azacycles. The enantiomerically enriched allylamine 1 can also be resubjected to the reaction sequence with (R)- and (S)-2b to facilitate the diastereospecific construction of 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolines 3/4.
