Highly functionalized complex molecules are key tools for promoting biochemical research and developing pharmaceutical compounds because the positions of the heteroatoms and the direction of lone pairs in the molecules are closely linked to their biological activities. Catalytic asymmetric synthesis is a fundamental technique to supply these complex compounds in a stereoselective manner. As a representative example, the catalytic asymmetric 1, 3-dipolar cyclization reaction has been widely studied for the synthesis of multisubstituted pyrrolidines.[1] Azomethine ylides, generated from an iminoester and a nitroalkene, can be used to introduce an additional nitro functionality onto the pyrrolidine ring, thus affording four stereogenic centers and up to eight diastereomers. When a trans nitroalkene is used, the stereoconjunction between the 3-and 4-positions is fixed in a trans conformation, and four diastereomers are possible, classified as endo, exo, endo’, and exo’isomers (Scheme 1).
