Advances in the application of N-sulfinyl auxiliaries to the synthesis of pyrrolidines and α-amino acid derivatives

Pyrrolidines are widely prevalent in pharmaceuticals, catalysis and agrochemicals. The (3+2) cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with alkenes is one of the most powerful methods for pyrrolidine synthesis. This reaction creates 2 σ-bonds and up to 4 new stereocentres in one reaction. Methods for the s...
