Stereoselective Synthesis of Bromopiperidinones and their Conversion to Annulated Heterocycles

Abstract

N-Galactopyranosyl- and N-glucopyranosyl imines of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes react with 1-methoxy-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene in a domino Mannich-Michael reaction cascade to give 2-substituted 5,6-dehydro-piperidin-4-ones with high diastereoselectivity. Treatment of these cyclic enaminones with N-bromo-succinimide yields the corresponding 2-substituted 5-bromo-5,6-dehydropiperidinones which react with L-SelectrideⓇ or methylcuprate to afford the saturated bromo-piperidinones with high diastereoselectivity. Condensation reactions of these products with thioamides afford thiazolopiperidines
