✦ Synopsis
AbstractÐA formal asymmetric synthesis of (2)-epibatidine is reported. The key step of the synthesis is a regio-and diastereoselective cycloaddition of silyloxycyclohexadiene with the acylnitroso dienophile derived from (1)-camphorsultam. The resulting cycloadduct was readily transformed into the N-protected-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one derivative which has previously been transformed into (2)-epibatidine.

By using respectively one equivalent of the pmpafgyl zinc Mcolmlate and silylated pmpargyl bromide, the preparation of 2-me/hylenc-5-trimethylsilyl-pent-4-yn-l-ol was improved. This latter is the lm~'ta'sur of the com~pcmding aldehyde whkh was used for the first time as a dienophile in [4+2] reactio
