Abstract
The stereo-structure of piperidine lactone (3), a synthetic intermediate of the antimalarial agent febrifugine ((+)-1) with a piperidine ring in the trans relative configuration, was re-revised to the cis-form. We determined that isomerization to the trans-form from the cis-form occurred in the stage (6 from 5) of deprotection in Baker's synthesis.
