Synthesis and structure of 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-zabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones and several of their derivatives

New 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo3.3.1]nonan-9-ones were synthesized by the double Mannich cyclization of tetrahydrothiopyran-4-one with suitable alkoxyalkylamines and paraformaldehyde in acetous methanol. Wolff-Kishner decarbonylation of these bicyclic ketones gave 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo3.3.1]nonanes. The reduction of 7-alkoxyalkyl-3-thia-7-azabicyclo3.3.1]nonan-9-ones by alkali metal hydride complexes leads to a mixture of two stereoisomeric secondary alcohols, which are epimers at C₍₉₎. Active analgesic, antiarrhythmic, and antibacterial compounds were found among these products. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 585–592, April, 2006.
