A simple three-step synthetic routes toward 2-substituted 3-diarylmethylenylpiperidines 7 (Y= CN) and 8 (Y= allyl) starting with 3-diarylmethylenylpiperidines 9 is described. The process was carried out by the bromomethoxylation of skeleton 9 with NBS in MeOH at reflux for 2h, regioselective α-dehydrobromination with DBU in THF at reflux for 10h, and BF3· OEt2-catalyzed cross-coupling of the corresponding enamine with trimethylsilyl- ...
