2,5,6-Trisubstituted piperidines are readily prepared by a combination of an aza-Achmatowicz oxidation of a furyl-substituted benzenesulfonamide followed by a conjugate addition to the resulting 2H-pyridone and subsequent addition of various nucleophiles to a transient N-sulfonyliminium ion. The stereochemistry of the

Biocatalytic approaches have yielded efficient total syntheses of the major Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, all based on the key enzymatic dioxygenation of suitable aromatic precursors. This paper discusses the logic of general synthetic design for lycoricidine, narciclasine, pancratistatin, and 7-deoxypancratistatin. Experimental details
