Synthesis of stereoisomeric 1,3-dimethyl- and 1,2,5-trimethyl-4-acyl(benzoyl)-4-piperidinols

In order to synthesize stereoisometric 4-acyl(benzoyl)-1, 3-dimethyl and-1, 2, 5-trimethyl-4-piperidinols, the reaction of the geometrical isomers of 4-cyano-1, 3-dimethyl- and -1, 2, 5-trimethyl-4-piperidinols and the amines and imidic esters corresponding to them with some alkyl- and arylmagnesium halides, leading to the corresponding isomeric piperidinic -ketols, has been studied. The dependence of the reactivity of the geometrical isomers of the compounds studied on the spatial orientation of their functional groups has been shown.
