Pyrrolizidine, indolizidine, and pyrrolo[1,2‐ a ]azepine substructures are present in a large number of naturally occurring azabicyclic compounds, which are currently of special interest because of their biological activities. To obtain this class of compounds, we envisioned a ring‐rearrangement metathesis (RRM) process of 7‐azanorbornene systems that incorporates several exocyclic olefin patterns at the nitrogen position. By using this methodology, we have synthesized a set of new 1‐azabicyclo[ n .3.0]alkenones, which include derivatives of pyrrolam. In all cases, only one regioisomer was obtained. Moreover, new spiro compounds with tricyclic structures have been synthesized by using a domino metathesis process that involves a ring‐opening/ring‐closing/ring‐closing metathesis (ROM/RCM/RCM) sequence.
