We describe the design and application of tailored aminoallyl precursors for catalytic (3+2) cycloaddition with conjugated dienes via a Pd‐aminoallyl intermediate. The new cycloaddition reactions override the conventional (4+3) selectivity of aminoallyl cation cycloaddition through a sequence of Pd‐allyl transfer and ring closure. A variety of highly substituted or fused pyrrolidine rings were synthesized using the cycloaddition, and can further undergo [1,3] N‐to‐C rearrangement to five‐membered carbocycles with a different palladium catalyst. The utility of the (3+2) cycloaddition is also demonstrated by the preparation of various derivatives from the bicyclic pyrrolidine products.
