39. [7c] and allenyl phosphates (A. Panossian, N. Fleury-Bregeot, A. Marinetti, Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2008, 3826-3833) have been studied as precursors of the three-carbon fragment in these asymmetric [3+2] cycloadditions catalysed by phosphines.
40. During the preparation, of this manuscript, Robina et al. reported the [3+2] annulation of allenyl sulfones with N-sulfonyl imines in the presence of nucleophilic mediators affording pyrrolidines (E.

56. The low yield obtained from reaction of 2b, compared with that obtained from 2 a, could be a consequence of the lower stability of substrate 2b and adduct 8b in relation to the corresponding a isomers, under the reaction conditions.

61. The ee values were determined by HPLC employing a Daicel Chiralpack AD column, with hexane and isopropyl alcohol as the eluents.
62. Although no adducts of 2 b with alienes 4 and 5 were obtained, the enantiomers of 13a and 14a could be accessible by this route.
63. Preliminary studies of these reactions have been performed. Reaction of racemic (±)-6 with diethyl malonate only provides one diastereoisomer, which results from the approach of the nucleophile to the convex face of the bicyclic system. The application of these products to the synthesis of a range of known and novel structures is under investigation.
