(Figure Presented) Although cycloadditions of azomethine ylides usually give mixtures of endolexo adducts, we successfully tuned the mechanistic path of a new reaction cascade to afford substituted pyrrolidines In high yields and diastereomeric purity. This was achieved by forcing the demetalation of tin- or silicon-substituted iminium Ions, followed by azomethine ylide cycloaddition and nucleophilic cyclization. Structural complexity is thus built rapidly In a fully controlled one-pot reaction cascade.
