The acid-catalyzed addition of 1, 3-dicarbonyl compounds and activated olefins (silyl enol ethers and ethyl vinyl ether) to N-Boc-2-methoxypyrrolidine () and N-Boc-2- methoxypiperidine () in SDS/water medium is described. Good yields of the corresponding 2- substituted N-Boc pyrrolidines were generally observed from while moderate yields prevailed from.
