✦ Synopsis
Regioselective generation of the C(2)-carbocation a of tricyc10[4.2.2.0',~]decane (1) by treatment of both corresponding epimeric alcohols 5 and 6 with BF, and trapping the rearranged tricy~lo[S.3.0.O~~~]decan-7-yl carhocation b with Et,SiH as hydride-ion donor (ionic hydrogenation) gives the corresponding hydrocarbon 3 as sole product in almost quantitative yield. The latter is a known intermediate in the Lewis-acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 1 to adamantane (4).
