Abstract
Abstract Unsymmetrically substituted cis -3,4-diarylpyrrolidines are synthesized in nearly 25% overall yields starting from 4-aryl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridines by iterative reactions using the combination of m -chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) and boron trifluoride etherate (BF 3 ·OEt 2 ) followed by Grignard addition, elimination and hydrogenation sequence.
