Abstract

The direct combination of the desymmetrization of N- heterocyclic meso-diols using lipase from Mucor miehei as biocat- alyst and subsequent ring expansion of the optically active products by activation of the remaining hydroxy group gives rise to function- alized nonsymmetrical piperidines in a highly enantio- and dia- stereoselective manner.
