A new method for synthesizing 2-acyl pyrrolidines has been developed through sequential nucleophilic addition/ring contraction of alpha-bromo N-iminolactam with organometallic reagents. This reaction allows the incorporation of various groups, including aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and alkyl groups, into the facial construction of 2-acyl pyrrolidines. Moreover, the 2-acyl pyrrolidine products can be further transformed into different compounds such as pyrrolidinyl alcohol, epoxide, b-lactam, and pyrazole.
