Reaction of glyoxal with a derivative of (R)-phenylglycinol having an allylsilane side-chain afforded a transient iminium ion. Intramolecular reaction of the iminium ion and the allylsilane moieties occurred in a totally stereoselective way. Straightforward transformations ultimately led to enantiopure either cis or trans 3-vinyl pipecolic acid methyl ester. The stereochemical course of this reaction was rationalized via AM1 calculations.
