Article Abstract

Rigid bicycles are becoming more popular in the pharmaceutical industry because they allow for expansion to new and unique chemical spaces. This work describes a new strategy to construct 2-azanorbornanes, which can act as rigid piperidine/pyrrolidine scaffolds with well-defined exit vectors. To achieve the synthesis of 2-azanorbornanes, new strain-release reagent, azahousane, is introduced along with its photosensitized strain-release formal cycloaddition with alkenes. Furthermore, new reactivity between a housane and an imine is disclosed. Both strategies lead to various substituted 2-azanorbornanes with good selectivities.

An enantioselective desymmetrizing transannular bromoaminocyclization of cyclopentenylamines has been achieved by using -symmetric trisimidazoline catalysis. This protocol could directly provide a range of chiral 2-azanorbornanes in excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 97.5:2.
