Efficient sequences for the construction of multifunctional nitrogen heterocyclic scaffolds will be detailed. A first approach consists of the formation of reactive acetals, followed by different types of cyclization reactions. More specifically, palladium-catalyzed coupling of alkoxy allenes to carbamates or sulfonamides provides stable N,O-acetals, that can be efficiently elaborated to highly functionalized heterocycles. A second approach involves the use of palladium and silver catalysts in the cyclization of acetylenic amino acids. By choosing either catalyst, both 5-arylprolines as well as isotryptophans can be efficiently obtained.
