title: Determining the scope of the organolanthanide-catalyzed, sequential intramolecular amination/cyclization reaction: formation of substituted quinolizidines, indolizidines, and pyrrolizidines.
abstract: The scope of the lanthanide-mediated, intramolecular amination/cyclization reaction was determined for the formation of substituted quinolizidines, indolizidines, and pyrrolizidines. A methyl group was installed at diverse positions in the substrates to determine the sense and magnitude of diastereoselection. High diastereoselectivity (>20:1) was achieved for the formation of some quinolizidines and indolizidines. The sense of relative asymmetric induction was contrary to previously studied systems, and although some questions remain, a rationalization for these results is put forward.
