| Abstract: | The first highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective synthesis of five‐membered spiro‐2H‐pyrroles was achieved using an Ir‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic dearomatization reaction. The spiro‐2H‐pyrrole derivatives readily undergo a controllable and stereospecific allylic migration under acid catalysis, providing polycyclic pyrrole derivatives in excellent yields and ee values. Additionally, the novel Ir‐complex K1 , derived from Ir(cod)Cl]2 (cod=1,5‐cyclooctadiene) and N‐benzhydryl‐N‐phenyldinaphthophosphoramidite (BHPphos), showed excellent control of both diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities. |
