Abstract
The mechanism for the rapid rearrangement of the adamantyl cation (1-yl → 2-yl, or vice versa) in sulfuric acid utilises catalytic adamantane in an intermolecular hydride transfer reaction; a slower rearrangement mechanism involves reversible ring-opening of the adamantly skeleton, and allows incorporation of high levels of deuterium.
