Piperidine is a key structural motif in various alkaloids and a variety of compounds studied in medicinal chemistry. Though many methods have been developed for their construction, there is still a need for noval approaches, especially those with high efficiency, good modularity and excellent stereoselectivity.Recent intense research in gold catalysis [1] has provided several novel methods of piperidine synthesis.[2, 3] For example, we reported earlier that piperidin-4-ones could be prepared in a two-step,[4+ 2] manner;[2a] however, the products are limited to those with ring nitrogen substituted with hard-to-remove aliphatic groups or benzyl groups suffering from low regioselectivities. To address this deficiency and develop a generally effective and modular synthesis of N-unsubstituted piperidines, we envisioned, as shown in Scheme 1, that a goldcatalyzed cyclization of N-homopropargyl amide 2 would offer cyclic imidate 3, which could be chemoselectively reduced to afford α-amino ether A. We anticipated that A would undergo spontaneous Ferrier rearrangement to furnish piperidin-4-one B, which might be further reduced in situ to the corresponding alcohol (ie 4). Several aspects of this design are noteworthy: 1) the sequence is highly modular and flexible; it is an overall {[2+ 3]+ 1} annulation from readily available imines, propargyl Grignard, and carboxylic acids or their derivatives; 2) enantiomeric synthesis is readily achievable as chiral amine 1 would be easily prepared from chiral sulfinyl imines;[4] 3) it constitutes an alternative to an aza-Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement, which has not been realized.[5, 6] This is a surprising void as the Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement [7] has been applied with much success in total synthesis of complex natural products.[8] 4) the piperidine nitrogen is free and could be readily derivatized; 5) the gold catalysis is not the key transformation but instead employed to deliver requisite intermediates for subsequent processes. This sequential combination of gold catalysis and other distinctively different transformations in a one-pot process offer new opportunities to develop versatile synthetic methods with high efficiency.
