A general strategy leading to the synthesis of two cis ‐2‐methyl‐6‐substituted piperidin‐3‐ols is described. syn ‐(2 R ,1′ S )‐2‐(1‐Dibenzylaminomethyl) epoxide ( 13 ) was used as common building block. The key step involved oxirane ring opening of 13 by the nucleophilic lithium aza‐enolate of hydrazones 12a and 12b . Subsequent hydrazone hydrolysis and intramolecular reductive amination afforded the alkaloid (+)‐deoxocassine and a new C‐6 ethyl analogue of this substance in good yields.
