34. Within this area, Monterrey et al. have shown that alkylation of N-Cbz protected piperidin-2-yl-acetates with ethyl bromoacetate can lead to successful ring closure by removal of the N-Cbz protecting group in a tandem hydrogenolysis-hydrogenation step to give the corresponding hexahydro-indolizin- 3-one; see: Monterrey, I. M. G.; González-Muñiz, R.; Herranz, R.; Garcia-López, M. T. Tetrahedron 1995, 51, 2729.
35. The anti-configuration of the alkylation was assigned on the basis of the established preferential anti-alkylations of lithium β-amino enolates, see: (a) Davies, S. G.; Walters, I. A. S. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 1994, 1129.

41. Some discrepancies exist between the reported characterisation data for 40 and its epimer; these will be highlighted in a forthcoming publication from this laboratory. However, our synthesis unambiguously confirms the relative and absolute configuration of 40.
