Multicomponent radical processes: Synthesis of substituted piperidinones
Three and four-component radical and radical-organometallic processes have been developed that provide a simple access to 2,3disubstituted piperidinones. Reasonable yield and high stereoselectivities were achieved in a number of cases with three C-C bonds and one C-N bond and up to three stereogenic centers generated in one pot from readily available reagents.
