The Asymmetric Aza-silyl-Prins Reaction: Synthesis of Enantiopure Piperidines

Org Lett. 2019 Jan 18;21(2):350-355. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.8b03283. Epub 2018 Dec 28.

Abstract

The design and development of the first asymmetric aza-silyl-Prins reaction is reported, giving rise to valuable and diverse piperidines and pipecolic acid derivatives in both high yields and as single enantiomers. The creation of a novel chiral auxiliary-homoallylic amine for the aza-silyl-Prins reaction is essential to its success.
