Intramolecular conjugate addition of γ-substituted (E)- α,β-unsaturated ketones with a Lewis acid (BF3· OEt2) selectively afforded trans-2,3-disubstituted piperidine derivatives. Chiral substrates were synthesized by Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of the enamine; the antimalarial compound febrifugine was synthesized from the major product of the conjugate addition reaction.
