A novel series of diphenylbutylpiperidines as autophagy inducers was described and extensive SAR studies resulted in derivatives (15d–e, 15i–j) with 10-fold greater activity than the lead compounds 1 and 2. Meanwhile, a new synthetic route to diphenylbutyl bromide (6) from bromobenzene and γ-butyrolactone was also reported here.
