Synthesis of (R)-Dihydropyridones as Key Intermediates for an Efficient Access to Piperidine Alkaloids

The efficient transformation of D-glucal to (2R)-hydroxymethyldihydro-pyridinone 5 in seven steps and 35 % overall yield is reported. Dihydropyridone 5 constitutes a versatile chiral building block for the synthesis of various piperidine alkaloids. In this regard, 5 was converted to piperidinol 13 a...
