Stereoselective Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Piperidine Derivatives byN-Galactosylation of Pyridones

subject

description

Stereoselective desymmetrization of 4-pyridone has been achieved through selective N-galactosylation, activation of the N-(galactosyl)pyridone by O-silylation and immediate addition of Grignard compounds. Chiral piperidine derivatives, e.g. (S)-(+)-coniine and (5S,9S)-(+)-indolozidine 167B, were synthesised in enantiomerically pure form using these highly regio- and stereoselective reactions. After N-galactosylation of 2-pyridone and O-silylation of the N-galactosyl-2-pyridone, addition of a Grignard compound proceeded with high 1,4-regioselectivity and complete diastereoselectivity, to furnish 4-substituted 5,6-dehydro-2-piperidones.
