Abstract
Abstract A number of new polybrominated adamantanes were formed by rearrangements and bromination of 2,2,6,6-tetrabromoadamantane under Friedel-Crafts conditions. Protoadamantane-4,10-dione, 10-acetoxyprotoadamantan-4-one, 1,2,6-triacetoxyadamantane and 5,6-diacetoxyadamantan-2-one were formed by successive semipinacol and protoadamantane-adamantane rearrangements of 5,6-dibromoadamantan-2-one and 5,6-dibromoadamantan-2-ol. This work may open up new pathways for the synthesis of 1,2,6-trisubstituted adamantanes.
