Stereochemical course of the reductive spiroannulations of N-Boc and N-benzyl 2-cyanopiperidines

The stereochemical outcome of spiroannulations of N-protected 2-lithiopiperidines (generated by lithium di- tert-butyl biphenylide (LiDBB) mediated reductive lithiation of 2-cyanopiperidines) was investigated using deuterium labeled side-chains containing phosphate leaving groups. High stereoselecti...

Summary:The stereochemical outcome of spiroannulations of N-protected 2-lithiopiperidines (generated by lithium di- tert-butyl biphenylide (LiDBB) mediated reductive lithiation of 2-cyanopiperidines) was investigated using deuterium labeled side-chains containing phosphate leaving groups. High stereoselectivity was observed when benzyl (Bn) protected 2-cyanopiperidines were employed, while tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protected 2-cyanopiperidines afforded lower selectivity. Models are proposed to rationalize the results of this study. Graphical Abstract
