Procedure: To a solution of triphosgene (362 mg) in DCM (3 mL) was added pyridine (162 mg) at 0° C., and subsequently a solution of cis-2-phenylcyclohexyl amine (300 mg) in DCM (3 mL) was added dropwise thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 40 minutes. To a suspension of 60% oily NaH (110 mg) in THF (1.5 mL) was added 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl methanol (363 mg) at 0° C., followed by stirring at room temperature for 20 minutes, and to the mixture was added dropwise the above-described DCM solution at 0° C., followed by stirring at 80° C. for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture was added a saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, followed by extraction with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine in this order, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CHCl3:MeOH:28% aqueous ammonia=80:10:1) to obtain a colorless oily substance (100 mg). The oily substance obtained was dissolved in a mixed solvent (EtOAc:EtOH=1:1) and fumaric acid (32 mg) was added thereto. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, a mixed solvent (EtOAc:IPE) was then added thereto, and the solid precipitated was collected by filtration to obtain 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-ylmethyl rel-[(1R,2R)-2-phenylcyclohexyl]carbamate fumarate (103 mg) as a colorless solid. by stirring at room temperature for 20 minutes by stirring at 80° C. for 1 hour followed by extraction with EtOAc The organic layer was washed with water and brine in this order dried over MgSO4 concentrated under reduced pressure The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CHCl3:MeOH:28% aqueous ammonia=80:10:1) to obtain a colorless oily substance (100 mg) The oily substance obtained was added The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure a mixed solvent (EtOAc:IPE) was then added the solid precipitated was collected by filtration

Procedure: 90 g (2.37 mole) of lithium aluminum hydride in 200 ml of diethyl ether were slowly added with stirring to a solution of 231 g (1.37 mole) of methyl quinuclidine-3-carboxylate of Example 4 in 1,000 ml of diethyl ether. Reflux was continued for 3 hours and the excess lithium alanate was carefully decomposed with 500 ml of water with proper cooling. The reaction mixture was filtered and after separation of the phases, the ether phase was dried over magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the ether was distilled off to obtain 116 g (0.82 mole) of quinuclidine-3-methanol (60% yield) as a colorless oil. Reflux The reaction mixture was filtered after separation of the phases the ether phase was dried over magnesium sulfate Thereafter, the ether was distilled off
