Abstract
The stereochemistry of cyanide ion addition to l-alkyl-4-(iV-phenylpropanamido)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridinium salts 2 was investigated by analysis of the 1H NMR spectra of the isolated α-amino nitriles. The data obtained, together with epimerization studies, indicated that the addition occurred in a stereospecific manner to afford the trans diastereoisomers.
