A redox-neutral α-C-H oxygenation of commercially available pyrrolidin-3-ol with a monoprotected p-quinone generated an N-aryliminium ion intermediate, which reacted in situ with boronic acid nucleophiles to produce a series of cis-2-substituted pyrrolidin-3-ols. With this strategy, 8-epi-(-)-lentiginosine was synthesized from (3R,4R)-pyrrolidine-3,4-diol in three steps.
