Synthesis of (?)-epibatidine?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2014-02-10 DOI: 10.1039/C4RA00770K

Abstract

An asymmetric synthesis to the dendrobatid alkaloid (?)-epibatidine has been described, featuring chiral resolution of both optically pure 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanecarboxylic acid, and subsequent transformations to (?)-epibatidine. The methodology provides a flexible access to various substituted chiral epibatidine analogues.
