Racemic α-iminocyanoacetates have been used as azomethine ylide precursors in the catalytic enantioselective [3+2] cycloaddition with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by (S)-α,α- diphenylprolinol leading to the fully stereocontrolled formation of pyrrolidine cycloadducts with four stereocentres, one of them being a quaternary one. The reaction proceeded with excellent yields, endo-selectivities and enantioselectivities. Remarkably, complete 2,5-diastereoselection has also been achieved under the optimized reaction conditions, which has been explained in terms of the participation of intramolecular H-bonding interaction which contributes to stabilize one determined geometry for the in situ generated azomethine ylide.
