Manganese(III)-mediated radical cyclisations for the (Z)-selective synthesis of exo-alkylidene pyrrolidinones and pyrrolidines.

The cyclisation of alkynyl amido- and amino-malonates in the presence of manganese(III) acetate gives exo-alkylidene pyrrolidinones and pyrrolidines with a preference for the (Z)-alkene product isomer.
