A Stereoselective Hydroamination Transform To Access Polysubstituted Indolizidines
Stereoselective, intramolecular, formal hydroamination of dienamines via directed hydroboration is reported. Four stereocenters are set in the process. Natural and unnatural indolizidine alkaloids can be synthesized from simple unsaturated amines using the title process.
