Abstract

The contrasting chemical behaviors of 4-aryl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines are of interest. 1 Because the structural skeleton is known as a building partner in the synthesis of related compounds with potential pharmaceutical activities, our previous study developed a number of convenient procedures which allow the preparation of coerulescine and baclofen via a pinacol to pinacolone rearrangement reaction. 2 As part of an ongoing investigation in this area, we have developed the useful ...
