Research on Chemical Intermediates Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A highly atom-economic, one-pot synthesis of functionalized piperidines is reported by a multi-component condensation reaction between β-keto ester, two equivalents of aromatic aldehyde, and two equivalents of amine in the presence of a catalytic amount of ZrCl4. The advantages of this protocol are good yields, short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, no need for column chromatography, more readily available, inexpensive catalyst, and simple work-up procedure.
