Abstract: | Successful nucleophilic substitution at a methylene attached to the bridgehead (1-) position of the 2-azabicyclo2.1.1]hexane ring system opens the way to construction of novel derivatives having a wider range of functional groups attached to the 1-position via a methylene "spacer" (including the beta-amino acid homologue of 2,4-methanoproline) and provides access to epibatidine analogues containing heterocyclic substituents and also to further homologation at the 1-position. Displacements with loss of a nucleofuge (e.g., loss of mesylate anion from the 1-mesyloxymethyl derivative) require thermal activation but proceed without the rearrangement initially anticipated in such a strained bicyclic ring system. A novel tricyclic carbamate intermediate 17 has been isolated; nucleophilic attack on 17 leads directly to the isolation of N-deprotected substitution products (with concomitant decarboxylation). |
