alpha-pyrrolidinylidenacetophenone was prepared in two steps by reacti
on of bromoacetophenone with alpha-thiopyrrolidone, followed by sulfur
extrusion. The product can give rise to annelation reactions from the
less stable E isomer. The structure of the obtained azabicyclic compo
unds as that of the intermediate was confirmed by IR and high field NM
R spectrometry. These novel bridged nitrogen heterobicyclic derivative
s could be of interest in the immunopharmacological area.
