We report that 1-benzyl-2-methyl-3-piperidone, conveniently prepared from 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine, undergoes rearrangement to 1-benzyl-2-acetylpyrrolidine in aqueous 6 N HCl at reflux. Studies showing that the 2,2-dimethyl analog is inert under the same conditions support a mechanism of reversible tautomeric equilibria via ring-opened intermediates, one of which was independently synthesized and shown to be a kinetically competent intermediate to product.
