We report a double C(sp3)-H bond functionalization from a substrate that has no conformational bias, an indispensable
factor for achieving the sequential hydride shift process. By employing ZnBr2 as a promoter and low concentration conditions (0.025 M), the sequential hydride
shift/cyclization process from an alkenylidene malonate with no substituents on the
linker proceeded smoothly, affording dicyclic piperidine derivatives in moderate to
good chemical yields with excellent diastereoselectivities.
