Abstract
[reaction: see text] Coupling of N-Boc-7-bromo-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane with aryl and pyridyl boronic acids incorporates aryl and heterocyclic substituents at the 7-position and leads to a preference for syn over anti stereoisomers. Incorporation of a chloropyridyl group followed by N-deprotection gives syn-isoepibatidine. Facial selectivity in attack on 7-keto-2-azanorbornanes depends heavily on the N-protecting group leading to the first syn-7-hydroxy-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivative.
