Get in the ring! The first examples of transition‐metal‐catalysed CC bond activation of 3‐azetidinones and 3‐oxetanones are reported. In the presence of a nickel catalyst and alkynes, a regioselective and high‐yielding [4+2] cycloaddition occurs, leading to the formation of pyridinones, pyranones and eventually 4,5‐disubstituted 3‐hydroxypyridines (see scheme).

An easy and expeditious route to substituted piperidines is described. A Ni-phosphine complex was used as catalyst for [4 + 2] cycloaddition of 3-azetidinone and alkynes. The reaction has broad substrate scope and affords piperidines in excellent yields and excellent regioselectivity. In the reaction of an enantiopure azetidinone, complete retention of stereochemistry was observed.
Described herein are methods for synthesizing substituted 3-piperidone compounds. Notably, substituted 3-piperidones can also be prepared in enantiopure form. The methods may allow for preparation of highly substituted piperidine cores. Also disclosed are 3-piperidone compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds.
