โฆ Synopsis
A synthetic route to the epibatidine analogue endo-5-(6-chloro-3-pyridyl)-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and the corresponding endo-6-isomer is described, starting from a readily-available 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene derivative. Both the exo-5-and exo-6-compounds are also shown to be accessible from the same substrate using reductive Heck chemistry.

The coupling of N-protected 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes and 2-chloro-5-iodopyridine under reductive Heck conditions gives approximately equal amounts of exo-5-and exo-6-(6'-chloro-3'-pyridyl)-2-azabicyclo-[2.2. I]heptanes. The ratio varies slightly under a range of conditions but both products ar
