The aza-Prins reaction is a widely employed and highly efficient method for the preparation of saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Its major drawback has always been a lack of diastereoselectivity and the formation of racemic products. Herein, we address these problems and report, for the first time, the synthesis of both diastereomerically and enantiopure multiply substituted piperidines via the aza-Prins reaction. This method is widely applicable for natural product synthesis and is exemplified here by the synthesis of enantiopure pipecolic acid derivatives.

The synthesis and enzymatic resolution of a novel vinylsilane-containing amino acid is described. Derivatization of this and other olefinic amino acids followed by subjection to standard N-acyliminium ion cyclization conditions provides the corresponding pipecolic acid derivatives with - in most cases - complete conservation of enantiopurity. In addition to studying the scope of this reaction, details of the N-acyliminium ion cyclization including an aza Cope equilibrium are highlighted.
