The aza-Michael addition of enantiopure 1-aminopyrrolidines to (E)- alkenyl sulfones in the presence of a catalytic amount of ytterbium trifluoromethanesulfonate [Yb(OTf)3] yields β-hydrazino sulfones in moderate to good yields and with diastereoselectivities of up to 98%. The latter undergo reductive N-N bond cleavage with BH3 · THF and, after N- protection with Boc2O or benzyl bromide, afford N-protected β-amino sulfones with moderate to high enantiomeric excesses (ee = 42 to ≥96%) without racemization. Subsequent α-alkylation of the N,N-dibenzyl protected β-amino sulfones with various electrophiles yields α-alkyl-β-amino sulfones in excellent yields (88-97%) with high diastereomeric (de ≥96 to ≥98%) and enantiomeric purity (ee = 94 to ≥96%). The absolute configuration of the new stereogenic centre was determined by X-ray structural analysis and confirmed by NMR spectroscopy (NOE experiments). Possible reaction mechanisms for the conjugate addition and α-alkylation are presented.

Cleavage of the N-N bond of chiral trisubstituted hydrazines 1 with excess BH3·THF complex gives the corresponding optically active amines 2 in moderate to excellent yields and with high enantiomeric purity. This racemization and epimerization free cleavage procedure is compatible with functionalities sensitive to reductive cleavage conditions.

Enantiomerically pure trans-(2S,5S)-2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidine was synthesized starting from the versatile chiral synthon (R)-(8) and chiral 2,3-O-isopropylideneglycerol triflate (S)-(9).
