The first metal-free asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-arylmaleimides to azomethine ylides catalyzed by chiral tertiary amine thiourea to form multiply substituted pyrrolidines in excellent yields (up to 89%) and enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee) is presented. This procedure allows a rapid diversity-oriented synthesis of chiral pyrrolidine derivatives with high optical purity. A series of bifunctional thiourea catalysts were applied for the first time to the highly asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-arylmaleimides to azomethine ylides togive the products in excellent yields (up to 89%) and enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee).
