Abstract

Enolate mediated domino imino-aldol-aza-Michael and domino imino-aldol-aza-Michael-imino-aldol reactions of α-(aryl/alkyl)methylidene-β-diketones with activated N-aryl aldimines (1.0 and 2.0 equiv., respectively) have been developed for the diastereoselective (de >99%) synthesis of two sets of highly functionalized 2,6-disubstituted piperidines. The reaction course follows an intermolecular imino-aldol reaction followed by an intramolecular aza-Michael reaction with 1.0 equiv. of imine; whereas another intermolecular imino-aldol reaction takes place when 2.0 equiv. of imine is present in the reaction medium. The formation of the piperidine derivatives has been explained by plausible reaction mechanisms.
