Abstract

A method for the synthesis of 4-substituted azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes from N-tosyl-2-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octa-3,6-diene, a versatile bicyclic heterocycle not commonly used in medicinal chemistry research, is presented. The method uses bromination, followed by Suzuki­ coupling, and subsequent reduction and deprotection. The desired 4-substituted azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes were obtained in moderate to high yields.
