The synthesis of scopin acetate ( 6b ) and 6,7‐didehydrohyoscyamine ( 17 ) was achieved by using tropine ( 5 ) as the starting compound. Formal (phenylthio)‐radical transfer to the nonactivated 6‐position of ethyl N ‐demethyl‐3‐ O ‐(phenylthio)tropine‐ N ‐carboxylate ( 9 ) by irradiation in the presence of hexabutyldistannane is a key step of this synthetic approach, involving ethyl 6,7‐didehydro‐ N ‐demethyltropine‐ N ‐carboxylate ( 15 ) as a synthetic intermediate ( Schemes 3 and 5 ). The reaction of 9 with tributylstannane in the presence of ethyl acrylate, as a radicophilic olefin, involves Michael ‐type alkylation at C(6) of the tropine skeleton affording ethyl N ‐demethyl‐ N ‐(ethoxycarbonyl)tropine‐6‐propanoate ( 18 ) ( Scheme 6 ).
