Abstract

A novel method for the epimerization of endo-2-(6-chloro-3-pyridyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-3-one (12) on silica gel was developed and used as the key step to synthesize functionalized analogues of epibatidine which were evaluated for their nicotine receptor subtype selectivity in binding studies.
