First syntheses of C6,7 and C7 enantiopure cocaine analogues were achieved from D-(-)-ribose via a trans-acetonide controlled endo-selective intramolecular nitrone-alkene cycloaddition (INAC) as the key step. This synthetic scheme allows practical preparation of cocaine analogues for bioevaluation as potential candidates for the treatment of cocaine addiction and as potential conjugates for immunotherapy.

Enantioselective synthesis of cocaine C-1 analogues using sulfinimines (N-sulfinyl imines).
TLDR
The first examples of cocaine analogues having substituents at the C-1 position of the cocaine tropane skeleton were prepared by heating sulfinimine-derived α,β-unsaturated pyrrolidine nitrones to give tricyclic isoxazolidines that were transformed in three steps to the cocaine analogs.

Desymmetrization of bicyclo[3.n.1]-3-one derivatives by palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation.
TLDR
Desymmetrization of carbon nucleophiles by palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation has been realized for the first time and offers an efficient access to optically active tropane derivatives.
Stereoselective Synthesis of Tropanes via a 6π‐Electrocyclic Ring‐Opening/ Huisgen [3+2]‐Cycloaddition Cascade of Monocyclopropanated Heterocycles
TLDR
The synthesis of tropanes via a microwave‐assisted, stereoselective 6π‐electrocyclic ring‐opening/ Huisgen [3+2]‐cycloaddition cascade of cyclopropanated pyrrole and furan derivatives with electron‐deficient dipolarophiles is demonstrated, being versatile building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant targets.
