Ym. Atroshchenko et al., 3-Azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives: II. Synthesis of 6(7)-R-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3,1]non-6-enes, RUSS J ORG, 36(5), 2000, pp. 743-749
A number of 6(7)-substituted 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.
3.1]non-6-enes were synthesized by reduction of m-dinitrobenzenes with pota
ssium tetrahydridoborate, followed by the Mannich reaction with formaldehyd
e and 2-aminoethanol. The structure of 1,4-bis(1,5-dinitro-3-azabicyclo[3.3
.1]non-6-en-3-yl)butane was proved by X-ray analysis.
