Abstract

Aldehyde obtained from unsymmetrical cleavage of cyclohexene by ozonolysis is subjected to L-proline catalyzed asymmetric α-amination reaction to obtain chiral amino alcohol with >99% ee which is subsequently converted into (R)-6-(hydroxymethyl)piperidin-2-one and (R)-pipecolic acid. Overall, a short and efficient asymmetric synthesis of (R)-pipecolic acid is described employing organocatalytic asymmetric α-amination of aldehyde as key step.
