Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide C 2 -Symmetrical scaffolds are privileged ligands in metal catalysis and are also widely used in organocatalysis. Among these, 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines hold a paramount importance, especially since they also find application in medicinal chemistry. This review highlights the stereoselective syntheses of these C 2 -symmetrical nitrogen heterocycles. It includes synthetic strategies based on the use of the chiral pool as well as the more recent sequences designed following major achievements in asymmetric catalysis.
