Abstract: 3-Iodo-2-tropene, synthesised from the corresponding ketone (tropinone) via its hydrazone, was carbonylated in palladium-catalysed homogeneous aminocarbonylation reactions. The 3-carboxamides containing both the tropene and the aminoacid moieties of biological importance were obtained in chemospecific reactions and isolated in up to 85 % yields.
