3,4-Substituted pyrrolidines are formed with 80% diastereomeric excess via the addition of TsSePh to dialkyldiallylammonium salts followed by dequaternization (retro-Michael or reduction depending on the alkyl group). The temporary attachment to nitrogen of more labile groups like SiMe3 failed in reaching high diastereomeric excess; so did the complexation of nitrogen with various Lewis acids.
