Nortropinone 5 , prepared from 3 by N ‐demethylation with trichloroethyl chloroformate, followed by deprotection of carbamate 4 with zinc in acetic acid, served as a starting material to prepare the N ‐protected 6‐acetoxy ketones 7 and 9–12 , and alcohols 6 and 8 . Nortropane 16 was prepared from 3 by decarbonylation via dithioketal 13 followed by N ‐demethylation, and from 10 by decarbonylation via dithioketal 14 . When ethanol was used in the desulfurization of 14 instead of tetrahydrofuran, substantial amounts of the N ‐ethylated amine 17 were produced.
