Solid Phase Synthesis of Bicyclo[2.2.2]octane Derivatives via Tandem Michael Addition Reactions and Subsequent Reductive Amination

Abstract
Tandem Michael addition reactions of polymer bound acrylates with cyclohexenones and subsequent reductive amination was achieved, which after cleavage from the support under reductive, acidolytic or aminolytic conditions afforded a wide variety of bicyclo[2.2.2]octanes. The process may find application in combinatorial library synthesis.
