The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends antivirals as an additional line of defense against influenza. One of such drugs is rimantadine. However, most of the circulating strains of influenza A viruses are resistant to this drug.

Two main groups traditional (carbonyl compound transformations) and novel (anionic enolate rearrangements) of complementary methods for the simple and effective preparation of structurally diverse compounds in racemic and enantiopure forms have been reported. Due to the specific structure and appropriate reactivity profiles of dione-type molecules, they are a convenient modern platform for the construction of functionalized piperidine-type systems possessing high synthetic and medicinal potential.

A new concept is proposed for the explanation of the high stability of allylborane-amine adducts in aqueous MeOH.

Moreover, copper-catalyzed diastereoselective allylation of Ellman's imine was achieved with triallylborane-methylamine adduct.

Biological assays of the prepared compounds were performed on the rimantadine-resistant S31N mutated strains of influenza A - A/California/7/2009(H1N1)pdm09 and modern pandemic strain A/IIV-Orenburg/29-L/2016(H1N1)pdm09. The most potent compounds were both enantiomers of the enol ester 10 displaying IC = 7.
