Reaction of ethyl N-benzhydrylpipecolinate with ethylmagnesium bromide in the presence of catalytic amount of titanium(IV) isopropoxide furnished in a high yield the corresponding hydroxypropyl-substituted piperidine that by treating with alcoholic alkali was quantitatively converted into 1-benzhydryl-2-propionylpiperidine. The reduction in the latter of carbonyl group with lithium aluminum hydride or sodium borohydride in methanol gave rise prevailingly to threo-aminoalcohol. With sodium borohydride in the presence of cerium chloride an erythro-aminoalcohol was the main product. Deprotection of the nitrogen atom from the benzhydryl group of the aminoalcohols obtained provided racemic alpha- and beta-conhydrines.

The preparation of functionalized 2-substituted allyl bromides and chlorides from carboxylic esters is reported. The carboxylic esters were transformed first to 1-substituted cyclopropanols by treating with ethylmagnesium bromide in the presence of titanium alkoxide. Mesylation of the cyclopropanols followed by halide displacement of the sulfonate group to halogen, accompanied by cyclopropyl-allyl rearrangement, affords the required allyl bromides and chlorides.
