“…Among them, isoquinuclidine (azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) has generated considerable attention as a result of their presence in numerous complex natural products and pharmaceuticals such as the alkaloids of dioscorea hispida, dioscorine [1], and the alkaloid ibogaine [2], which possesses the ability to diminish self-administration of cocaine, heroin, and alcohol. The methods reported mainly used metal catalysts such as indium trichloride (InCl 3 ) [3], environmentally friendly bismuth trichloride (BiCl 3 ) [4], and a-zirconium hydrogen phosphate, which allow easy recovery and reuse [5].
