The bromination (CuBr 2 , AcOEt/CHCI 3 ) plus Favorskii rearrangement (EtONa, EtOH) of N ‐carbethoxytropinone ( 4 ), readily available from tropinone ( 3 ), affords mixtures of exo ‐ and endo ‐isomers of 2,7‐dicarbethoxy‐7‐azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ( 1b ) in variable and moderate chemical yield (maximum 37%). The bromination (Br 2 , HBr/AcOH) reaction of compound 4 gives ethyl trans ‐2,4‐dibromo‐3‐oxo‐8‐azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane‐8‐carboxylate ( 5 ) in 99% yield, a product that on Favorskii rearrangement (EtONa/EtOH) affords ethyl 2,2‐diethoxy‐3‐oxo‐8‐azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane‐8‐carboxylate in moderate yield ( 6 ) (52%).
