Abstract :
An efficient preparation of racemic and chiral 2-functionalized-3,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidines is described. The method uses 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes, readily obtained from glyoxylates of aliphatic amines and cyclopentadiene, as starting material. The hydroxylation of the double bond followed by the oxidative cleavage of the six-membered ring and in situ reduction of the dialdehyde intermediate gives the title pyrrolidines.
