Abstract

An asymmetric synthesis of substituted piperidines has been described. β-Cyclodextrin-or oxazaborolidine-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of α-azido aryl ketones to the corresponding alcohols has been employed as the key step along with ring closing metathesis and selective dihydroxylation.
