Base and copper(I) catalyzed Mannich, alkyne hydroamination cascades for the direct synthesis of 2-methylenepyrrolidines.

An efficient, simple-to-perform, one-pot reaction cascade to 2-methylenepyrrolidines from p-toluenesulfonyl protected imines and propargylated malonates under a combination of base and copper(I) catalysis is reported.
