Abstract
Iodine-mediated cyclization of homoallyl amines at room temperature delivered cis-2,4-azetidine through a 4-exo trig cyclization. Isomerization of iodo-azetidines to cis-pyrrolidines could be achieved by heating, with complete stereocontrol. The relative stereochemistry of the iodo-azetidines and pyrrolidines was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Further functionalization was achieved through nucleophilic displacement of iodine to deliver substituted azetidines and pyrrolidines. 1,2,3-Triazole- appended azetidines and pyrrolidines were also prepared. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
