Abstract

The synthesis of novel 6-arylpiperidine-2, 4-diones is described in five steps starting from β- aryl-β-aminoacids via the chain extension of the latter into δ-aryl-δ-amino-β-ketoacids. The chemical pathway involves an acylation of Meldrum's acid and yields useful building blocks for heterocyclic chemistry.
