Tetrahydropyridines (or piperideines) are heterocycles with the formula C

. Three isomers exist, which differ by the location of the double bond. All three are chiral. None of the parent species occur widely, so they are mainly of theoretical interest. Although the parent tetrahydropyridines are rare, many substituted tetrahydropyridines are known.

Preparation and occurrence

1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine causes permanent symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
(–)-Mitragynine is a naturally occurring tetrahydropyridine.

1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyridine, a colorless liquid, is commercially available. It is an imine.

Illustrating another isomer of tetrahydropyridine, 6-acetyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine occurs naturally.

Partial reduction of pyridinium salts gives N-alkyltetrahydropyridines. Treatment of N-methylpyridinium with borohydride reagents gives 1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine.[1][2]

A modified Ireland-Claisen rearrangement leads to tetrahydropyridines via a silyl ketene acetal intermediate.[3]

Ring-closing olefin metathesis has also been used to establish the tetrahydropyridine ring system.[4]
