The reaction of N-methyl-3-hydroxypyridinium iodide with acrylonitrile
has been studied. Under various reaction conditions, none of the desi
red cycloaddition product was resulted. Instead, a Michael addition pr
oduct was obtained. Alternatively, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition was a
chieved by the reaction of N-methyl-3-oxopyridinium betaine with acryl
onitrile in THF with a high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Th
is paper reports the synthesis of an intermediate 8-methyl-2 beta-hydr
oxy-8-azabicyclo [3.2.1]octane-6-exo-carbonitrile of exo-(acetyoxy)-8-
azabicyclo[3.2.1]-octan-2-exo-ol. This synthetic route involves two hi
gh stereoselective steps.
