A thiophenol-mediated method for the conversion of propargylamines to pyrrolidines under acidic conditions is described. This cascade reaction involves addition of a thiyl radical to the terminal alkyne followed by a 1,5-hydrogen transfer (radical translocation) and a rapid cyclization affording the pyrrolidine ring. Our studies reveal that complete protonation of the tertiary amine with 10 equivalents of trifluoroacetic acid avoids undesired hydrogen atom abstractions by the thiyl radicals.
