[GRAPHICS]A novel approach to 2,4-disubstituted piperidines is reported, involving the radical cyclization of 7-substituted-6-aza-8-bromooct-2-enoates. Cyclization with tributyltin hydride affords the trans piperidines with trans/cis diastereomeric ratios ranging typically from 3:1 to 6:1. Cyclization with tris( trimethylsilyl)silane affords the same products with diastereomeric ratios of up to 99: 1 in certain cases. The enhancement in diastereoselectivity results from the selective rearrangement of the minor stereoisomer through a cascade process involving radical cyclization to the piperidine radical, 1,5-radical translocation, and attack of the translocated radical onto the sulfonamide with extrusion of SO2 in a Smiles-type rearrangement. Slower trapping of the piperidine radical by tris(trimethylsilyl) silane compared to tributyltin hydride accounts for the occurrence of the rearrangement cascade in the former case.

Cyclisation of bromides 4a–f mediated by tributyltin hydride affords predominantly the trans piperidines 5a–f with modest diastereomeric ratios, while cyclisation with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane affords the same products with diastereomeric ratios of up to 99 : 1.
