J. Quirante et al., A radical route to morphans. Synthesis and spectroscopic data of the 2-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, HETEROCYCLE, 50(2), 1999, pp. 731-738
The synthesis of 1-benzyl-2-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one (8) through radica
l cyclization, involving an intramolecular addition of a carbamoyldichlorom
ethyl radical upon an alkene, is described. Conversion of 8 to the morphan
itself, and the spectroscopic analysis of some derivatives of this series a
re reported.
