their synthesis. A number of methods for the synthesis of Atipamezole have been reported. Significant among these methods has been the one shown in Scheme1. In the present report, we describe a re-investigation of this method for the synthesis of Atipamezole, including the characterization of some crucial intermediates and several new analogs of 1. Our work followed the order shown in Schemes 2A (Atipamezole)
