A 2-substituted 1,4-bis (4-tolylsulfonyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine is readily ac
cessed from an alpha -aminoester and 1,1-dimethoxy-3-(4-tolylsulfonyl)propa
ne. This cyclic diene enters into highly selective addition reactions with
carbon nucleophiles, and the product of one of these transformations is con
verted into a 2,3,6-trisubstituted piperidine via an S(N)1 ' reaction. (C)
