title: A diastereoselective synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted piperidines: scaffolds for drug discovery.
abstract: A method for the diastereoselective synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted piperidines has been developed which enables the complete control of reaction selectivity merely by changing the order of the reaction sequence. These targets provide convenient platforms for drug discovery which contain easily modified points of diversity.
