โฆ Synopsis
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 are isolated in every case (and in the corresponding reaction with 3-iodopyridine) contrary to a recent report that only the 5-exo-isomers are formed.

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 t
To avoid confusion, it is emphasised that ul and lk refer to additions to a particular face of the corresponding methaniminium ion. Thus, for discussion of the stereoselectivity of this reaction, we shall refer to relative topicity of the addition, rather than to the relative topicity of the product
