title: Stereoselective synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted piperidines by carbonyl ene and Prins cyclisations.
abstract: Cyclisation of aldehydes 3-e catalysed by concentrated hydrochloric acid affords predominantly the all cis 2,4,5-trisubstituted piperidines 4a-ewhen 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.
