✦ Synopsis
A highly efficient, flexible and diastereoselective route to all-cis-2,6disubstituted 3-piperidinols has been accomplished. The key component of the synthesis is a chiral I]-hydroxyester, which was obtained by iipase catalyzed kinetic resolution. Based on this starting material, diastereoselective alkylation of its dianion, Curtius rearrangement to a 2-oxazolidinone, Grignard reaction to introduce the side-chain and conversion of the aliphatic 2-oxazolidinone into a 3-piperidinol by imine cyclization lead to the exemplary total synthesis of naturally occurring (-)-(2R,3R,6S)-cassine.
