We report the synthesis of two novel azaperhydroazulene tropane-hederacine chimeras A and B, which contain an 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring and a 7-azabicyclo[4.1.1]octane ring, respectively. The synthesis of both chimeras was achieved by epoxide ring opening and was governed by the stereochemistry of the hydroxy-epoxide unit. Finally, a density functional theory study was conducted to explain the regioselectivity of the cyclization and the importance of the stereochemistry of the hydroxyl group.
