Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The stereochemistry of the reduction of tropinone, catalyzed by sodium alcoholates, was studied.

  2. 2.

    In the catalytic reduction, the axial OH group is formed at a greater rate than the equatorial group, while dehydrogenation of compounds with axial OH group is considerably more rapid than that of isomers with an equatorial OH group.
