    Abstract:
    A method using N-tosyl aziridine for the synthesis of a spiropiperidine 2 (R=H) is described. Cleavage of the N-tosyl group of the intermediate 8 to form the spiropiperidinone 9 was found to proceed in high yield with conc. sulfuric acid. Acylated derivatives of 2 were required for a structure- activity study aimed at defining the spatial requirements of the N-acyl residue in the lead Farnesyl-Protein-Transferase inhibitor 1.
