Nornicotine is an alkaloid found in various plants including Nicotiana, the tobacco plant. It is chemically similar to nicotine, but does not contain a methyl group.

It is a precursor to the carcinogen N-nitrosonornicotine that is produced during the curing and processing of tobacco.[1]

Synthesis

There are several routes for the synthesis of nornicotine. One route is the demethylation of nicotine, which can be accomplished by reaction with silver oxide.[2]

\mathrm {\xrightarrow[{H_{2}O}]{Ag_{2}O}}

Another route is the partial reduction of 3-myosmine, which can be accomplished by standard catalytic hydrogenation conditions using palladium as a catalyst[3] or with sodium borohydride.[4] This reaction gives the racemic product.

\mathrm {\xrightarrow[{H_{2}}]{Pd/C}}
