Abstract
Scopine and pseudoscopine have been synthesised from cyclohepta-3,5-dienol; the initial 1,4-fuctionalisation of the diene is based on a nitroso- cycloaddition. The use of the N-benzyloxycarbonyl group throughout the scheme allows ultimate reductive deprotection to yield N-methyl or novel NH (nor-) derivatives without damage to the exo-epoxide of the title compounds. Preliminary investigation of nitroso- cycloaddition to 5,6-epoxycyclohepta-1,3-diene is described.
