Piperidines rearrangement

Fig. 11 Furanose/piperidine rearrangement in the synthesis of 6-oxanortropane glycomimetics.

Protonated /V-chloroalkyl amines under the influence of heat or uv light rearrange to piperidines or pyrroHdines (Hofmann-Lriffler reaction) (88). The free-radical addition of alkyl and dialkyl-/V-chloramines to olefins and acetylenes yields P-chloroalkji-, P-chloroalkenyl-, and 8-chloroalkenylamines (89). Various N-hiomo- and N-chloropolyfluoroaLkylarnines have been synthesized whose addition products to olefinic double bonds can be photolyzed to fluoroazaalkenes (90). 

With secondary amines such as piperidine or dimethylamine the formal products (169) of cine substitution are obtained with primary amines e.g. /-butylamine), in addition to the displacement product (173), a rearranged product (174) is obtained in which the nitrogen-bearing methyl becomes exocyclic 80CC123). Earlier studies on the reaction of... 

Reaction of the morpholine or piperidine enamine of cyclopentanone, however, gives an unstable adduct which rearranges under the reaction conditions and an aqueous work-up to give the ring expanded ketone 2-chloro-2-cyclohexen-l-one (203) (138,139). 

Fusion of an all cyclic ring onto the piperidine so as to form a perhydroisoquinoline is apparently consistent with analgesic activity. Synthesis of this agent, ciprefadol (68), starts with the Michael addition of the anion from cyclohexanone 56 onto acrylonitrile (57). Saponification of the nitrile to the corresponding acid ( ) followed by Curtius rearrangement leads to isocyanate Acid...

The thermolysis of 4-azidophenyl methyl ketone in morpholine at 170°C yields a mixture of the expected 5-acetyl-2-morpholino-3f/-azepine (33) and 6-acetyl-2-morpholino-3//-azepine (34), the product of a unique and totally unexpected thermal rearrangement of the 5-acetyl derivative.119 Similar results can be obtained in hot piperidine, whereas thermolysis of 4-azido-diphenyl ketone under similar conditions yields only the 6-benzoyl-2-(cycloalkylamino)-3//-azepines (7-18%) accompanied by much tar. 

Blechert s synthesis of the piperidine alkaloid (-)-halosaline (387) by Ru-catalyzed RRM is outlined in Scheme 76 [160]. In the presence of 5 mol% of catalyst A, the ring rearrangement of metathesis precursor 385 proceeded cleanly with formation of both heterocyclic rings in 386. In situ deprotection of the cyclic silyl ether in 386, followed by selective reduction and removal of the to-syl group led to 387. 

A second convergent synthesis of haliclamine A (64) was achieved in a stepwise sequence from cyclopropyl(thiophen-2-yl)methanone (76) (Scheme 7) [37]. The protected thiophene 77 was condensed with formyl-piperidine to give 78, suitable for a Wittig olefination with 79. After desulfurization of the product 80, the deprotected alcohol 82 was subjected to homoallylic rearrangement using MesSiBr in the presence of ZnBr2. The re-... 

The aza-[2,3] Wittig rearrangement of aziridines is an excellent method for the synthesis of substituted piperidines. The analogous reaction of an epoxide has recently been examined <06TL7281>. Reaction of divinyl epoxide 48 with /-butyl diazo acetate provides the ylide intermediate 49, which then undergoes the [2,3] Wittig rearrangement to 50, Several catalysts were examined as catalysts for the formation of 49. It is noteworthy that the copper catalyst performed much better than the more widely used rhodium catalysts. 

P-Lactams have been used as a synthon for the preparation of a vast array of compounds. It has been reported that the reduction of 4-(haloalkyl)azetidin-2-ones with LiAlhL is a powerful method for the synthesis of stereodefined aziridines and azetidines <06OL1101>. However, reduction of 4-(haloalkyl)azetidin-2-ones with chloroalane afforded 2-(haloalkyl)azetidines, which were rearranged to 3,4-cw-disubstituted pyrrolidines and piperidines 32 <060L1105>. During these rearrangements, bicyclic azetidinium intermediates were formed which were ring opened by halides. The synthesis of a peptide-... 

Another form of olefin metathesis widely used for piperidine formation is ring-rearrangement metathesis (RRM), as shown below. The versatility of this reaction can be seen in its ability... 

Some other ring expansions involving the intramolecular amino Claisen rearrangement of vinylarylaziridine [ 123], the Diels-Alder reaction of indoles with acetylene derivative [124-127] and the dibromocarbene insertion into quinoline enol ethers [ 128] have been used to prepare 1-benzazepines. On the other hand, treatment of 3-chloro-3-phenyl-l,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-l-benz-azocin-2-ones with piperidine causes a ring contraction to give 2-phenyl-2-(l-piperidinylcarbonyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-l//-l-bcnzazepines in an excellent yield [23]. 

In this way piperidine is converted into the hydrocarbon pipery-lene , a-methylbutadiene. The cause of the shift in the double bond is the same as in the rearrangement of eugenol to isoeugenol and of /S- to a-dihydromuconic acid. Formulate this degradation reaction with f -methylpyrrolidine. 

Substitution reactions of allylic nitro compounds often lead to rearranged products, as in palladium(0)-catalysed aminations and alkylations. Thus treatment of the nitro ester 419 with piperidine in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium yields a mixture of the unrearranged and rearranged amines 420 (R = piperidin-l-yl) and 421...
