Significance
Building upon previous work (A. L. Tillman, J. Ye, D. J. Dixon Org. Lett. 2008, 10, 4267) the authors report a three-component nitro-Mannich/lactamization cascade for the diastereoselective synthesis of pyrrolidinones. The protocol is operationally simple and provides access to a large number of pyrrolidinones in moderate to good yields and generally excellent diastereoselectivity.
