47. It is known that in piperidines that bear an alkoxycarbonyl or a tosyl group on the N atom, 2-alkyl substituents are preferentially pseudoaxially oriented in order to reduce the allylic strain with the N-protecting group. Much chemistry has been based on this feature which strongly affects the stereochemical outcome of additions to the enamine double bond: a) D. L. Comins, S. P.

56. This was demonstrated by treating the diastereomeric 2.4:1 mixture of cis- and trans-21 with TBAF in THF at room temperature. After 24 h the trans isomer was the major component of the mixture (the cis/trans ratio was 1:1.5). Deprotection of 24 with HF-pyridine in THF left the starting material unaltered after 24 h at room temperature.
