Synthesis of (1R,4R)- and (1S,4S)-2,5-Diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes and TheirN-Substituted Derivatives

Abstract
Derivatives of the (1R,4R)- and (1S,4S)-2,5-diazabicyclo- [2.2.1]heptane ring system are prepared in enantiomerically pure form from trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (2). The target compounds are precursors of antibacterial quinolone carboxyclic acids.
