Conclusions
The cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dimethyl-5-tert-butyl-3-piperidone were synthesized and their interconversion and reduction stereochemistry were studied. The effect of the equatorial and axial vicinal methyl substituents on the stereochemistry of the hydride and catalytic reduction of the ketone function was shown.
