A direct and selective synthesis of α,β-unsaturated piperidones by a new palladium-catalyzed cascade carbonylation is described. In the presented protocol, easily available propargylic alcohols react with aliphatic amines to provide broad variety interesting heterocycles. Key success this transformation remarkable catalytic cleavage present carbon–carbon triple bond using specific catalyst 2-di...

In this work, a computational study of a series of N-substitued-4-piperidones curcumin analogues is presented. The molecular structure of the neutral molecules and their radical anions, as well as their reactivity, are investigated. N-substituents include methyl and benzyl groups, while substituents on the aromatic rings cover electron-donor and electron-acceptor groups. Substitutions at the ni...

In the title compound, C(32)H(26)Cl(2)N(2)O(3), the piperidone ring adopts a chair conformation and the proline and pyrrolidine rings adopt envelope conformations. The indane ring system is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.011 Å for the non-H atoms. The dihedral angle between the two chloro-substituted benzene rings is 63.69 (10)°. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds ...

H and C NMR spectra are recorded for twelve picrate derivatives 4-15 derived from some 3-alkyl-2,6diarylpiperidin-4-ones and 3,5-dimethyl-2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-ones. The difference in the chemical shift of equatorial methylene proton and axial methylene proton at C(5) [Δ = δeq − δax] is highly negative in 4-13 which is in contrast to the value observed in the corresponding parent piperidin-4-on...

The title compound, C(31)H(34)N(2)O(9), is a product of the Michael addition of the cyclic secondary amine subunit of the (bis-pidino)aza-14-crown-4 ether to dimethyl acetyl-ene-dicarboxyl-ate. The mol-ecule comprises a tricyclic system containing the aza-14-crown-3 ether macrocycle and two six-membered piperidinone rings. The aza-14-crown-3-ether ring adopts a bowl conformation with a dihedral...

In the title compound, C(25)H(30)NO(3), a crystallographic mirror plane bis-ects the mol-ecule. Although it is a positional isomer of 2,4-bis(4-eth-oxy-phen-yl)-7-methyl-3-aza-bicyclo-[3.3.1]non-an-9-one [C(25)H(31)NO(3), M(r) = 393.51; Park et al. (2012c ▶). Acta Cryst. E68, o779-780], its mol-ecular weight is 392.50 due to the 50:50 ratio of the methyl group at bridgehead C atoms. However, th...

In the title compound, C(35)H(28)Br(2)N(2)O(2), the piperidone ring adopts a chair conformation and the five-membered ring of the pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. The naphthalene ring system makes dihedral angles of 37.12 (8) and 50.62 (9)° with the terminal bromo-substituted benzene rings. The dihedral angle between the two bromo-substituted benzene rings is 72.54 (10)°. In th...

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(25)H(31)NO(3), exists in a twin-chair conformation with an equatorial orientation of the ortho-eth-oxy-phenyl groups. According to Cremer and Pople [Cremer & Pople (1975 ▶), J. Am. Chem. Soc. 97, 1354-1358], both the piperidone and cyclo-hexa-none rings are significantly puckered with total puckering amplitutdes Q(T) of 0.5889 (18) and 0.554 (2) Å,...
