Stereoselective Synthesis of Chiral Piperidine Derivatives Employing Arabinopyranosylamine as the Carbohydrate Auxiliary.

Stereoselective synthesis of 2-substituted dehydropiperidinones and their further transformation to variously disubstituted piperidine derivatives was achieved employing D-arabinopyranosylamine as the stereodifferentiating carbohydrate auxiliary. A domino Mannich–Michael reaction of 1-methoxy-3-(trimethylsiloxy)butadiene (Danishefsky's diene) with O-pivaloylated arbinosylaldimines furnished N-arabinosyl dehydropiperidinones in high diastereoselectivity. Subsequent conjugate cuprate addition gave 2,6-cis-substituted piperidinones, while enolate alkylation furnished 2,3-trans-substituted dehydropiperidinones. Electrophilic substitution at the enamine structure afforded 5-nitro- and 5-halogen…

Stereoselective syntheses of piperidinones and their modification by organometallic coupling reactions

Dehydropiperidinones stereoselectively obtained from N-arabinosyl imines were iodinated at the enaminone structure. Knochel iodine-magnesium exchange afforded Grignard compounds of these piperidinone derivatives which reacted, either directly or after transmetalation to zinc or copper intermediates, with alkyl-, aryl- or acylhalides to give correspondingly substituted piperidinones. Stereoselective conjugate allyl cuprate addition to a thus obtained 5-allyl dehydropiperidinone and ring-closing metathesis of the product gave a hydroquinolinone containing three stereogenic centers.

Arabinosylamine in Asymmetric Syntheses of Chiral Piperidine Alkaloids.

The stereodifferentiating potential of arabinosyl aldimines was utilized in stereoselective syntheses of 2-substituted dehydropiperidinones and their further transformation to 2,6-cis-substituted piperidinones. The absolute configuration was proven by X-ray analysis and by the synthesis of the enantiomerically pure alkaloid (+)-dihydropinidine. The presented method offers the possibility to synthesize piperidine derivatives enantiomeric to those obtained by the application of the corresponding galactosylamine auxiliary.
