It was discovered that bis-methylation of methano-Tröger base is smooth in pure dimethylsulfate, providing new, configurationally stable, bis-methylate 3a. Mono- and bis-methylates 2b and 3b of ethano-Tröger base were synthesized. The crystal structures of racemic ethano-Tröger base and of its enantiopure methiodide (+)-(5R,11R)-2b benzene clathrate are also reported.
