cis and trans 2,3-disubstituted pyrrolidines and piperidines have been
prepared stereoselectively by intramolecular conjugate addition of N-
substituted gamma-oxygenated-alpha,beta-unsaturated phenyl sulfones. T
he best cis-selectivities were obtained from the alcohols and the best
trans-selectivities from the OTIPS derivatives. (C) 1996 Published by
