Popis: A one-pot, two-step synthesis of unsaturated piperidines from 2-keto aziridines is reported, Treatment of a range of 2-keto aziridines with two equivalents of a phosphonium ylide generates intermediate vinyl aziridines which rearrange by a [2,3]-sigmatropic shift to create a new carbon-carbon bond with concomitant ring opening of the aziridines to give the unsaturated piperidines. This three- to six-membered ring expansion allows the synthesis of N -unsubstituted piperidines and pipecolic acid derivatives.
