Popis: The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of novel and chiral amino acid derivatives with unconventional chemo-, diastereo-, and enantio-selectivity remains a paramount challenge. Herein we reported a novel protocol for the use of highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed cycloaddition of α,β-unsaturated acylsilanes as a springboard reaction for the facile synthesis of structurally diversified pyrrolidines and complicated α-amino esters by desilylation. The newly developed process could provide a wide range of synthetically useful acylsilane-substituted pyrrolidines (ASiP) in high yields and excellent diastereo- and enantio-selectivities with Cu/(R)-XylBINAP complex as the catalyst. And the downstream desilylation transformation enables to expand the potntial applications of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition in the construction of structurally unique amino acid derivatives, in which an unprecedented and concerted fluoride anion-promoted C–X (X=H, Si, N, C) bond cleavage occurred to the enantioselective construction of aldehyde-substituted pyrrolidines, linear cinnamaldehyde or alkene-substituted amino esters in high ee values.
