Indium-mediated allylation of N-Cbz-l-prolinal 3, under Grignard conditions, was carried out with high yield and stereoselectivity (de = 90%) to afford intermediate (2S,1′R)-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-(1′-hydroxybut-3′-en-1′-yl)pyrrolidine 4, which was transformed in two steps into (1R,3R,7aS)-1-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpyrrolizidine 9. Commercial Cbz-l-proline was a source of functionalization and chirality.
