Abstract

The synthesis of 3-aryl-Nn-propyl-piperidines is described in six steps starting from α- sulfonyl acetamide via the formal [3+ 3] cycloaddition reaction of the latter into glutarimide. The pathway involves an efficient cycloaddition and regioselective reduction, and yields useful building blocks for heterocyclic chemistry.
