Application

N-Methyl-4-piperidone can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • Spiropiperidine rings by reacting with malononitrile and electrophiles or Michael acceptors.
  • (3E,5E)-1-Methyl-3,5-bis(phenylmethylene)-4-piperidinone by reacting with benzaldehyde via Michael addition, followed by intramolecular O-cyclization/elimination sequential reactions.
  • N,N′-Dimethylbispidinone by utilizing a double Mannich condensation method.

To get new anti-hepatoma agents with anti-inflammatory activity and hypotoxicity, a series of dissymmetric pyridyl-substituted 3,5-bis(arylidene)-4-piperidones (BAPs, 25-82) were designed and synthesized. Many of them exhibited potential anti-hepatoma properties against human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HepG2, QGY-7703, SMMC-7721) and hypotoxicity
