An efficient method for the synthesis of 1-aminophthalans has been developed. The intramolecular oxa-Mannich reaction of 1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-ols with p-toluenesulfonylamine in the presence of Cs₂CO₃ as a base, without using any catalyst, provided the desired 1-aminophthalans in moderate to good yields.

Synthesis of an optically active azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton as a backbone of the tropane alkaloids has been achieved by employing intramolecular Mannich reaction. Utilizat ion of (R)-${\alpha}$-methylbenzylamine as a chiral auxiliary provided an excellent cyclization of amino dioxolane precursor. However, this auxiliary did not afford high asymmertic induction for the preparation of the optically active cyclization precursor.
