Popis: The kinetic and thermodgnamic parameters associated with epimeric 2-carbomethoxy-3β-substituted tropanes have been investigated by means of base-catalyzed deuterium incorporation, epimerization, and by molecular modeling. The equilibration results, as well as the molecular mechanics calculations, showed the 2α-epimers to be more stable than the 2β-epimers. However, it was found that the energies of the transitions states for deprotonation at C-2 from the β-face were higher than those for deprotonation from the α-face
