Abstract
Scopolamine, as an anticholinergic agent, plays a regulatory role in the peripheral nervous system. In this paper, 6,7-dehydrotropinone, which is the key intermediate of scopolamine, is synthesized in moderate yield through [4+3] cyclization reaction and Barton deoxygenation reaction. This route has good application prospects with mild reaction conditions, moderate yield, and simple operating procedures.
Keywords: Scopolamine, 6, 7-dehydrotropinone, [4+3] Cycloaddition reaction, Barton-McCombie deoxygenation, mild reaction conditions, better application perspective
