A vinyl aziridine activation strategy cocatalyzed by palladium(0) and a gold(I) Lewis acid has been developed. This rearrangement installs a C-C and a C-N bond in one synthetic step to form pyrrolizidine and indolizidine products. Two proposed mechanistic roles for the gold cocatalyst were considered: (1) carbophilic gold catalysis or (2) azaphilic gold catalysis. Mechanistic studies support an azaphilic Lewis acid activation of the aziridine over a carbophilic Lewis acid activation of the alken ...[more]
