Synthesis and kinetic resolution of N-Boc-2-arylpiperidines

Abstract

The chiral base n-BuLi/(−)-sparteine or n-BuLi/(+)-sparteine surrogate promotes kinetic resolution of N-Boc-2-arylpiperidines by asymmetric deprotonation. The enantioenriched starting material was recovered with yields 39–48% and ers up to 97 : 3. On lithiation then electrophilic quench, 2,2-disubstituted piperidines were obtained with excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
