The synthesis of 1‐cyano‐2‐aza‐[2.2.2]bicyclooctanes has been studied using the dynamic cyanide addition to cyclohexanone derivatives. These compounds were further elaborated into a new class of epibatidine derivatives from which a number of examples were fully deprotected to give the potentially active compounds. The highly hydrophilic character of the compounds resulted in a difficult isolation and purification of the epibatidine analogues.
