4-Alkylpyridines possessing nucleophilic β- dicarbonyl side chains have been converted to spirodihydropyridines upon treatment with ethyl chloroformate and sub-stoichiometric amounts of Ti(OiPr)4. Alternatively, inclusion of mild base in the reaction medium was found to facilitate generation of anhydrobase intermediates. Subsequent aldol-like condensations with electrophilic side chain moieties followed by hydrolysis delivered benzylically cyclized pyridines in good yield. In situ hydrogenation of cyclized anhydrobase intermediates afforded 4-substituted piperidines.
