[2,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangement of ammonium ylides represents a fundamental reaction for stereoselective synthesis of nitrogenous compounds. However, its applicability is limited by the scarcity of efficient, catalytic, and mild methods for generating ammonium ylides. Here, we report silver-catalyzed domino generation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of ammonium ylides, furnishing chiral azabicycles with bridgehead quaternary stereogenic centers in high enantiomeric purity (up to 99% ee). A combination of density functional theory calculations and experimental studies revealed that residual water in the reaction system is crucial for the mild reaction conditions by functioning as a proton shuttle to assist carbon-silver bond protonation and C2─H deprotonation to generate the ammonium ylide. This reaction has a broad application scope. Besides the diverse substituents, N-fused azabicycles of various ring sizes are also easily accessed. In addition to silver salts, this strategy has also been successfully implemented by using a stoichiometric amount of nonmetallic I2.
