Abstract
Cyclisation of aldehydes 3a - e catalysed by concentrated hydrochloric acid affords predominantly the all cis 2,4,5trisubstituted piperidines 4a - e when the 2- substituent is small, while catalysis by MeAlCl2 in refluxing chloroform gives the trans piperidines 5a - e with diastereomeric ratios of up to 99 : 1.
