Abstract

Intramolecular amidomercuration of N-methoxycarbonyl-6-aminohept-1-ene and reaction of the resulting organomercurial with sodium borohydride in the presence of acrylonitrile or decen-3-one has been used to prepare trans-2,6-dialkylpiperidines, including solenopsin A, a constituent of the venom of the fire-ant.
