โฆ Synopsis
A large number of bridgehead substituted adamantanes are known (1). The number of secondary substituted adamantanes however is limited since their synthesis could formerly only be achieved by low yield ring-closure reactions (1).
Recently some high yield ring-closure reactions for the preparation of polyfunctional secondary substituted adanantanes have been described (2,3).
In addition the reported syntheses of a 1,2-substituted adamantane (4) and of adamantanone (5) offer a good route to 2-substituted adamantanes.
Dehydroadauaneane (tetracyclo[3,3,1,13*7,02V4 ]decane) I, prepared in our laboratory (6), proved to be a very useful source for the synthesis of 2-substituted and 2,4_disubstituted adamantanes (II and III).

When 2-(tert-alkyl)adamantan-2-ols (where the substituent is bi-or tricyclic) are thermolysed or the corresponding bromide is refluxed in pyridine, an unusual 1,3-elimination occurs, leading to 2,4dehydroadamantanes bearing the tert-alkyl substituent on the cyclopropane system.
