Abstract:
An efficient green protocol is described for the preparation of highly functionalized piperidines via a one-pot five-component reaction between aromatic aldehydes,anilines andβ-ketoesters in the presence of oxalic acid dihydrate as catalyst in ethanol at ambient temperature.The structure as well as the relative stereochemistry of these compounds was confirmed by single X-ray crystallographic analysis.
