The six-membered piperidine product 5b was isolated in 70% yield, while the corresponding four-membered product 5c derived from azetidine was furnished in 39% yield. Additionally, product 5d containing a morpholine core was obtained in 48% yield as a mixture of two regioisomers (ratio of 1:4.5), with a preference for the α C-H bond functionalization at the site adjacent to the oxo functionality.
