A one-step reaction of an α,β-unsaturated ketone (3-penten-2-one, 1), an aldehyde (decanal, 2) and an amine (ammonia) afforded mainly the cis-isomer of (±)-2-methyl-6-nonyl-4-piperidone (3). Sodium borohydride reduction afforded as the major product (±)-cis,cis-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-6-nonylpiperidine (4), identical in NMR and IR spectra to the (+)-piperidine 241D isolated from skin extracts of a dendrobatid frog. The reaction was shown to be generally applicable for the synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted 4-piperidones.
