A phosphine-catalyzed reaction between o-hydroxyaryl azomethine ylides and MBH carbonates provides access to highly functionalized γ-aminobutyric acid derivatives in moderate to good yields. Mechanistically, the reaction involves a phosphine-catalyzed tandem S2'/2-aza-Cope rearrangement/intramolecular addition process.
