The phosphine-mediated [3 + 3] annulations of aziridines and allenes are experimentally simple reactions, run under very mild conditions, for the preparation of highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines in yields of up to 98% and trans/cis ratios of up to 97:3. In addition to steps that are typical of nucleophilic phosphine-catalyzed reactions of allenoates, the mechanism of this new reaction features apparent nucleophilic aromatic substitution and concomitant desulfonylation, processes hitherto ...[more]
