Reaction Steps
A jacketed flask equipped for simple distillation was charged with a suspension of 7-p-methoxyphenethyl-3-selena-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-one (0.65 g, 1.92 mmol), hydrazine (95%, 1.00 g, 29.7 mmol), and potassium hydroxide (85%, 3.0 g, 45.5 mmol) in triethylene glycol (25 mL). Under a rapid stream of nitrogen, the suspension was heated to 140°-145° C. by boiling xylene in the jacket of the flask. Stirring was continued at this temperature for 3 hours during which time a small amount of water and excess hydrazine distilled from the reaction mixture. After cooling to room temperature, the resulting solution was diluted with water (100 mL) and was extracted with ether (5×40 mL). The combined ether extracts were dried (K2CO3) overnight and 60% perchloric acid (0.5 g, 3.0 mmol) was added very slowly. This precipitated an orange solid. The ether was decanted and the solid was recrystallized (absolute ethanol) with the aid of decolorizing carbon to give 0.58 g (71%) of 7-p-methoxyphenethyl-3-selena-7-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane hydroperchlorate as white needles: mp 208.5°-209.0° C.; IR (KBr) cm-1 3425, 1085; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ1.73 [br d, 1H, H(9), J=14 Hz], 1.90 [br d, 1H, H(9), J=14 Hz], 2.42 [br s, 2H, H(1,5)], 2.65 [d, 2H, H(2,4)ax, J=12 Hz], 3.02 [t, 2H, H(11-ArCH2) J=7 Hz], 3.22 [d, 2H, H(2,4), J=14 Hz], 3.30 [m, 2H, H(10-NCH2)], 3.36 [d, 2H, H(6,8)ax, J=12 Hz], 3.76 [s, 3H, OCH3 ], 3.86 [d, 2H, H(6,8)eq, J=12 Hz], 6.97 [d, 2H, H(3',5'), J=9 Hz], 7.32 [d, 2H, H(2',6'), J=9 Hz], 8.92 [br s, 1H, H(7)]; 13C NMR (DMSO-d6) ppm 21.9 [t, C(2,4)], 25.3 [d, C(1,5)], 28.5 [t, C(9) or C(11)], 28.9 [t, C(11-ArCH2) or C(9)], 55.0 [q, OCH3 ], 56.7 [t, C(6,8)], 58.9 [t, C(10-NCH2)], 114.0 [d, C(3',5')], 127.7 [s, C(1')], 129.6 [d, C(2',6')], 158.1 [s, C(4')]; 15N NMR (DMSO-d6) ppm 48.10 [N(7)]; 77Se NMR (DMSO-d6) ppm 88.64 [Se(3)].
