Abstract
Treatment of either 3-tert-butyl-2-adamantanol or 2-isopropenyl-2-methyladamantane with acid in the presence of a reducing agent (hydrogen iodide or tri-2-hexylsilane) yielded 2-tert-butyladamantane as the major or exclusive product. Both precursors gave the 2-tert- butyl-2-adamantyl cation at −78°C in FSO3H-SbF5-SO2ClF.
