Stereochemistry of the asymmetric reduction of (1′<i>S</i>)-1,3-dimethyl-4(1′-phenylethylimino)piperidine
Abstract
The stereochemistry of the asymmetric reduction of the imine obtained from 1,3-dimethylpiperidin-4-one and (S)-α-phenylethylamine has been studied. It is shown that hydride reduction of imine I by sodium borohydride in methanol is asymmetric and gives the cis and trans diastereomeric pair 1,3-dimethyl-4-(α-phenylethylamino)piperidine in the ratio 3:1. Using sodium in isopropanol gives only one trans diastereomeric pair. 1H NMR has been used to identify the stereochemical structure and diastereomer excess of the cis and trans isomers of 1,3-dimethyl-4-(α-phenylethylamino)piperidine which had been separated by column chromatography.
