Abstract
Abstract Pipecolic acid derivatives can be prepared by the aza-Diels-Alder reaction of dienes with the iminium salt derived from benzylamine and ethyl glyoxylate in DMF; the presence of a catalytic quantity of water is essential, and acyclic dienes react with high regio- and diastereoselectivity.
