72. One of the elements of that design is an accurate knowledge of the preferred geometry of oxygen transfer in the transition state of dioxirane oxidations. We are currently investigating this issue independently (J. S. DePue, unpublished results). For a recent theoretical treatment of this problem see: Bach, R. D.; Andrés, J. L.; Owensby, A.

An alternative procedure for formation of Af-alkyl, iV-methyl piperidinium salts was later developed which involved quaternization of commercially available Af-methyl-4-piperidinone with the appropriate rc-alkyl triflate.
