title: [3 + 3] Cycloadditions and related strategies in alkaloid natural product synthesis.
abstract: In this article we describe a strategically unusual approach to piperidines via formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition reactions. The scope and limitations of these processes are outlined and their employment in the synthesis of alkaloid natural products is delineated.
