This paper describes a rapid and practical synthetic route involving six‐step reactions towards the diastereoselectively synthesis of (±)‐ endo ‐Epibatidine, starting from 6‐chloro‐3‐pyridinecarboxaldehye. The effective Henry reaction gave precursor ( E )‐6‐(6‐chloropyridin‐3‐yl)‐5‐nitrohex‐5‐en‐2‐one ( 3a ) which could be used in the next step. Various benzoic acid derivatives were used to optimize intramolecular Michael addition of ketone to pyridinylnitroolefins to provide the key intermediate 3‐(6‐chloropyridin‐3‐yl)‐4‐nitrocyclohexanone ((±)‐ 7a ) with high yield.
