The title bis-piperidine, C26H28N2O3, was unexpectedly obtained via a dimerization mechanism promoted by acetic acid when performing the Dieckmann of a chiral amido ester. The S,S configuration was assigned by reference to the enantiomerically pure starting material. In the molecule, two core heterocycles are linked by a σ bond. One ring includes a keto–enol group, while the other presents an enone functionality. Both rings present a conformation intermediate between envelope and screw-boat, and the dihedral angle between the mean planes passing through the rings [48.9 (1)°] is large enough to avoid hindrance between ring substituents. The enol tautomeric form in one ring favors the formation of strong intermolecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds. The resulting one-dimensional supramolecular structure features single-stranded helices running along the 21 screw axis parallel to [100].

The synthesis is described in Fig. 1. A solution of 1 (41.2 mmol, 1 eq.) and methyl acrylate (49.6 mmol, 1.2 eq.) was stirred overnight at 298 K. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the crude purified by α]20D = -172.5 (c=1, CH2Cl2). Compound 5, a colourless oil, was isolated in low yield (< 20%). Key NMR and IR data are given in the archived CIF.
(SiO2, CH2Cl2:MeOH, 97:3), to afford 2 as a colourless oil (98%). An amount of 2 (40.6 mmol, 1 eq.) was dissolved in diethyl malonate (40 ml) and the mixture refluxed until the reaction was complete (6 h). After concentration, the crude was chromatographed (Al2O3, n-hexane:AcOEt, 1:1), to afford 3, as a colourless oil (75%). A suspension of NaH (34.2 mmol, 2.5 eq.) in cyclohexane (100 ml) was refluxed for 20 min, and then, a solution of 3 (13.7 mmol, 1.1 eq. in 30 ml of anhydrous toluene) was added dropwise. After refluxing the mixture for 5 h, a solid was obtained, 4, which was filtered and dried in air. This solid was treated with acetic acid:water (30%, v/v) for the decarboxylation process. The mixture was refluxed until gas evolution stopped. After cooling down to 298 K, pH was adjusted to 7 with NaHCO3, and the mixture was washed with CH2Cl2 (3 × 50 ml). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. Compounds 5 and I were separated by (SiO2, CH2Cl2:MeOH, 95:5). The title compound I was obtained in 80% yield, and was recrystallized from AcOEt:n-hexane (1:1). m.p. = 444 K, [All C-bound H atoms were placed in idealized positions and refined as riding to their carrier atoms, with bond lengths fixed to 0.93 (aromatic CH), 0.96 (methyl CH3), 0.97 (methylene CH2) or 0.98 Å (methine CH). Isotropic displacement parameters were calculated as Uiso(H) = xUeq(carrier atom), with x = 1.5 (methyl groups) or x = 1.2 (other H atoms). H4 (hydroxyl group) was found in a difference map and refined with free coordinates and Uiso(H4) = 1.5Ueq(O4). The

The title compound is a byproduct of the Dieckmann cyclization carried on the chiral amido ester 3 (Fig. 1). When concentrated acetic acid is used in the fourth synthetic step, a dimerization occurs during the decarboxylation process, affording the title molecule I as the major product, while the expected piperidine-2,4-dione 5 is obtained in low yield. This synthetic route for the preparation of this kind of piperidone derivatives is known to be successful in many cases (e.g. Scheiber & Nemes, 2008). However, it seems that the possible interference of secondary reactions like dimerization is poorly commented in the literature, probably because these reactions are seen as a trouble for the intended synthetic target. To the best of our knowledge, a single article clearly commented on this problem (Sugasawa & Oka, 1954). In this report, the authors added a note in the galley proofs, which is worth to quote in full: "in the course of the present work, we prepared N-benzyl-2,4-dioxopiperidine [···]. Our attempt to condense this ketone with ethyl cyanoacetate under Cope condition was not effected because this compound was found to undergo bimolecular self-condensation fairly rapidly, at a room temperature [···]. This tendency of the easy intermolecular self-condensation [of N-benzyl-2,4-dioxopiperidine] is so remarkable when compared with the stability of the corresponding 5-ethyl derivatives, which suffer no change when kept in a stoppered bottle at room temperature for a long time".
The synthesis of the title compound in good yield now confirms the observations done by Sugasawa & Oka 59 years ago.
The molecular structure of I is built up from one ring including a keto-enol group (ring N1/C2···C6) bonded to a ring with the enone functionality (ring N1'/C2'···C6', see Fig. 2). Both rings present a conformation intermediate between envelope and screw-boat, with Cremer parameters being θ = 118.1° and ϕ = 101.0° for the keto-enol ring, and θ = 60.5° and ϕ = 278.5° for the enone ring. The dihedral angle between mean planes passing through these heterocycles, 48.9 (1)°, is large enough to avoid hindrance between atoms O2 and O4 in the first ring and H atoms at C3' and C5' in the other ring. Heterocycles in I have indeed conformations close to those observed in monocyclic related compounds which were X-ray characterized (e.g. Didierjean et al., 2004; Romero et al., 2005). In the solid state, the enolic tautomer of I seems to be favored over the di-ketone because the presence of a donor OH group allows the formation of stabilizing intermolecular O—H···O═C hydrogen bonds in the crystal. These strong interactions generate a supramolecular structure based on single stranded helices running along the 21 crystallographic screw axis in the [100] direction (Fig. 3).
The reported structure may be of interest in the field of natural products. It has been reported that the biosynthesis of some bis-piperidine alkaloids isolated from marine sponges, like halicyclamine A (Gil et al., 1995) or haliclonacyclamine C (Smith & Sulikowski, 2010) could involve the dimerization of dihydropyridines. Other natural products of interest also share the title compound bis-piperidine scaffold, with additional points of cyclization between the piperidine rings (Torres et al., 2000; Matsunaga et al., 2004).
