Reaction Steps

3-Cyano-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (IV) can be prepared by treating tropinone (V) with tosylmethyl isocyanide in the presence of a suitable base, such as potassium ethoxide. As an alternative 3-cyano-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (IV) can be prepared from tropine (XII) by treatment with thionyl chloride to give alternative 3-chloro-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (XIII) followed by treatment with cyanide as described in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1958 80, 4677.
