Abstract
Spiropiperidines have gained in popularity in drug discovery programmes as medicinal chemists explore new areas of
three-dimensional chemical space. This review focuses on the methodology used for the construction of 2-, 3- and 4-
spiropiperidines, covering the literature from the last 10 years. It classifies the synthesis of each of the types of
spiropiperidine by synthetic strategy: the formation of the spiro-ring on a preformed piperidine ring, and the formation of
the piperidine ring on a preformed carbo- or heterocyclic ring. While 3- and 4-spiropiperidines are predominantly
synthesised for drug discovery projects, 2-spiropiperidines are synthesised en route to natural products. The lack of 2-
spiropiperidines in drug discovery is presumably due to limited general procedures for their synthesis.
