Reactions of 3-substituted 3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-ones with nitrogen-containing nucleophiles

Condensation of 3-substituted 3-azabicyclo3.3.1]nonan-9-ones with hydroxylamine and hydrazine hydrate gave the corresponding oximes, hydrazones, and azines. Reductive amination of the title compounds in the presence of sodium triacetoxyhydridoborate led to the formation of 3-substituted 3-azabicyclo3.3.1]nonan-9-amines which were converted into the corresponding dihydrochlorides by treatment with dry hydrogen chloride. Treatment of 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl derivatives with HCl under analogous conditions was accompanied by elimination of the tert-butoxycarbonyl group to produce 3-azabicyclo3.3.1]nonan-9-amine dihydrochlorides.
