A series of 6-aryl-4-hydroxypiperidin-2-ones (11a-11g) were synthesised with the key step being a Dieckmann cyclisation of the appropriate methyl 3-(ethoxycarbonylacetylamino)-3-(substituted) propionate (8a-8g) and this new synthetic route was successfully applied to the synthesis of 4-hydroxy-6-(2-phenylethyl)piperidin-2-one (11h).The application of this strategy to the synthesis of the putative HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor 6--4-hydroxypiperidin-2-one (11i) was attempted, but failed during the Dieckmann cyclisation of methyl 3-(ethoxycarbonylacetylamino)- 3-propionate (8i).An alternative synthesis of a 1:1 diastereomeric mixture of (11i) was achieved by the reductive cleavage of the isoxazoline (24) with Raney nickel.The mixture of diastereoisomers (11i) was inactive in-vitro and in-vivo (rat) against HMG-CoA reductase
