A new approach to functionalized spiropiperidines through tandem RCM and nitrogen-directed reactions.
The synthesis of a functionalized spiropiperidine via a tandem ring closing metathesis strategy is described, furthermore, the regio- and stereoselective functionalization of this compound has been achieved through a novel nitrogen-directed epoxidation reaction.
