I know there are easier routes but the route below would enable a completely green synth starting from black pepper(which would be great for the insecticide industry to have it come from black pepper extract(piperine --> piperidine(or piperic acid) --> piperidone) from a marketing and environmental perspective.

The goal is to get from:
To this:
Thanks so much in advance.
