Dialkylation of amino esters 2 with o-bromobromomethylheteroaromatics 1 and double-cyclization of the resulting N,N-disubstituted esters 3 via bromo-lithium exchange to tetrahydropyridine rings gives access to dicondensed 5-hydroxy-1-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes 4, mostly β-carboline derivatives. The synthesis is highly stereoselective affording optically active products.
