A short efficient synthesis of (i)-anatoxin-a, the alkaloidal toxin from Anabaena flos-aquae, is described. Bromination of 9-methyl-9-azabicyclo [3.3. 1] nonan-l-ol (3b) provides the key intermediate 9-methyl-9-azabicyclo [4.2. 1] nonan-2-one (6). Reaction of 6 with diethyl (l-cyanoethyl) phosphonate gives 2-(l-cyano-l-ethylidene)-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo [4.2. 1] nonane (8). Oxygenation of 8, followed by reduction and hydrolysis, gives N-methylanatoxin-o (lb) which has been earlier converted into anatoxin-a.Anatoxin-a (1) is a powerful alkaloidal toxin isolated from the filamentous freshwater cyanophyte Anabaena flos-aquae. u This toxin, also designated as “very fast death factor", VFDF, lb is responsible for the death of livestock, waterfowl, and other wildlife following ingestion of toxic blooms of the alga in freshwater lakes of mid-western United States and Canada. 10 The structure and the absolute configuration of (+)-anatoxin-a has been es-tablished as (lR, 6/?)-2-acetyl-9-azabicyclo [4.2. 1] non-2-ene by X-ray crystallography in 19722a and was in full agree-ment with the spectroscopic studies obtained by Edwards and his co-workers. la The stereospecific synthesis of (+)-anatoxin-a from (2R, 3S)-cocaine by Campbell, Ed-
