Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Jun 15;18(12):3545-50. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.05.014. Epub 2008 May 6.

Abstract

Several series of substituted dehydropiperidine and piperidine-4-carboxylic acid analogs have been designed and synthesized as novel, potent dual PPARalpha/gamma agonists. The SAR of these series of analogs is discussed. A rare double bond migration occurred during the basic hydrolysis of the alpha,beta-unsaturated dehydropiperidine esters 12, and the structures of the migration products were confirmed through a series of 2D NMR experiments.
