Polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine, piperidine, and indolizidine alkaloids are of great interest because of their specific glycosidase inhibitory activity." Moreover, it has recently been found in our laboratories that swainsonine (1), a representative of the polyhydroxylated indolizidine alkaloids, has an immunostimulating activity, possibly as a result of its glycosidase inhibitory activity.21 This...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H21Cl2NO2, contains two independent mol-ecules that show similar geometrical features. The piperidine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. The phenyl rings substituted at the 2- and 6-positions of the piperidine ring are oriented at angles of 65.4 (1) [64.7 (2)°] and 89.2 (1)° [86.3 (2)°] with respect to the least-squares plane of the piperidi...

The site of protonation in a molecule can greatly affect the fragments observed in product ion MS/MS spectra. In electrospray positive ionization mass spectra, protonation usually occurs predominantly on the most basic site on the molecule to produce the thermodynamically favored protonated species. However, the literature is unclear whether liquid phase or gas phase thermodynamics has the grea...

BACKGROUND Pythium ultimum is a plant pathogen that causes significant yield losses on many economically important crops. Chemical treatment has been used for disease control. In searching for alternatives, venom piperidine and piperideine alkaloids from red imported fire ants were tested against P. ultimum in vitro, and piperideines were employed to control cucumber damping-off in the greenhou...

In the title compound, C(13)H(15)F(2)NO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the least-squares plane of the piperidine ring and the benzene ring is 48.75 (7)°. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are connected via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag chain along the b axis.

In the title compound, C(19)H(21)NO, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The two phenyl rings attached to the piperidine ring at 2 and 6 positions occupy equatorial orientations and the dihedral angle between them is 57.53 (11)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected via weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions, leading to a zigzag chains.

The synthesis of a photoswitchable piperidine base, carrying a monochlorosilane anchoring group, and its immobilization on silica gel, mimicking an oxide surface, is reported. Efficient photoswitching between the E and Z isomers of the azobenzene photochrome was demonstrated for the immobilization precursor in solution and the immobilized piperidine base in suspension of the functionalized sili...

In the title compound, C(26)H(25)NO(2), the piperidine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. The three phenyl rings form dihedral angles of 67.58 (8), 59.82 (8) and 86.41 (8)° with the best plane through the piperidine ring. The crystal packing is governed by inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions.
