Hydroboration of (1R,2R)-bis[(S)-1-phenylethylamino]cyclohex-4-ene and its derivatives with several borane reagents gave diastereomeric mixtures of the 3,4-diaminocyclohexanol derivatives. Cyclization of the prevalent diastereomer with the R configuration of the newly formed stereocenter under Mitsunobu conditions, followed by reductive removal of the N-substituents, gave the optically pure endo-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-amine.
