Introduction of an alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolacetone unit at C-4 do
es not change the conformation of the piperidine ring. However, both H
-1 and C-13 NMR signals are strongly influenced. While the signals due
to H-3 and H-5 protons are shifted upfield, the signals due to H-2 an
d H-6 protons are shifted downfield. The signals for all the ring carb
ons are shifted upfield. NOE measurements show that the C(4)-O(7) bond
is axially oriented.
