Abstract

An efficient methodology for the stereoselective synthesis of cis-2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines using copper catalyst was developed. The corresponding cis-2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines could be obtained in reasonable yields and with good stereoselectivities in the presence of 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine as ligand and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone as solvent.
