Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00036a008

Synthesis of ammonium ion analogues of the first cationic intermediate, 5, presumed to be formed during the cyclization of 2,3-oxidosqualene by 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase are reported.The required 2,3-substituted-4-piperidinols are prepared by c
