1. Introduction 1. Introduction Functionalized piperidinic derivatives are among the most ubiquitous heterocyclic cores in Functionalized piperidinic derivatives are among the most ubiquitous heterocyclic cores in natural natural products and bioactive compounds, therefore a huge number of methods has been developed products and bioactive compounds, therefore a huge number of methods has been developed to prepare to prepare piperidinic derivatives [1–7]. With respect to the biologically active targets, there is great piperidinic derivatives [1–7]. With respect to the biologically active targets, there is great interest in interest in introducing substituents that can increase their biological activity which can be related introducing substituents that can increase their biological activity which can be related to an increase of to the an increase of the and theInmetabolic stability. In this context, lipophilicity, thelipophilicity, bioavailabilitythe andbioavailability the metabolic stability. this context, the trifluoromethyl groupthe trifluoromethyl group is oftenofused as a bioisostere of group a chloride or a methyl group modulate is often used as a bioisostere a chloride or a methyl to modulate the steric andtoelectronic theproperties steric andofelectronic properties of a lead compound or to protect a reactive methyl group from a lead compound or to protect a reactive methyl group from metabolic oxidation.

Conclusion Conclusions Despite the considerable considerable synthetic synthetic efforts efforts spent spent toto synthesize synthesize 2-trifluoromethylpiperidinic 2-trifluoromethylpiperidinic Despite the derivatives, most of these compounds have been obtained in a racemic form. are they optically derivatives, most of these compounds have been obtained in a racemic When form. they When are active, the methods involve a chiral auxiliary or the starting material comes from the chiral pool. Thus, optically active, the methods involve a chiral auxiliary or the starting material comes from the chiral there is still a isstrong demand for catalytic enantioselective methods totoefficiently access pool. Thus, there still a strong demand for catalytic enantioselective methods efficiently access 2-trifluoromethylpiperidine derivatives in high diastereoand enantioselectivity. 2-trifluoromethylpiperidine derivatives in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
