Summary

1
Isomerization of 1-cyclohexyl-trans-2,5-dimethylpiperidone with Al2O3 yielded 1-cyclohexyl-cis-2,5-dimethylpiperidone-4, which reacted with phenyllithium to give one isomer of 1-cyclohexyl-2,5-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperidol-4. On the basis of a series of chemical conversions, this isomer was assigned the configuration (V), which contains the methyl and phenyl groups in the cis-position.

2.
Isomerization of the latter yielded a new isomer of this alcohol, which was apparently its epimer at C4.
-
3.
By analogous conversions of 1-phenyl-trans-2,5-dimethylpiperidone-4 it was possible to obtain the isomeric 1-phenyl-2,5-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperidol-4, which apparently had the methyl groups in the cis-position.
