Abstract Reduction potentials of four cage-structure halogenated derivatives and five alicyclic and aromatic ketones have been determined by cyclic voltammetry. For the Barbier reaction these parameters are used to anticipate the behaviour of intermediates formed at the metal surface and on which the distribution product depends. Semiquantitative relationships are obtained between these potentials and yields of condensation products.

Thermolysis of 1-hydroxy- or 1-acetoxy[1]diadamantane gives mixtures of 3-(adamantylidene)-bicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-ene,3, 3-(2-adamantyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]nova-2,6- and -2,7-dienes, 4, and 2-(3-noradamantyl)-2,4-dehydroadamantane, 7. At low conversion 3 and 7 are the major products, while one isomer of 4, the 2,6-diene, predominates in the equilibrium mixture. Pd/C-catalysed hydrogenation of the dienes in ethanol gives first 3-(2-adamantyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]non-2-ene, 5, and then endo-3-(2-adamantyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, 6. Hydrocarbon 7 is not hydrogenated under these conditions; it is converted into a mixture of 3 and 4(2,6) upon heating. Mechanisms for the fragmentation of the 1-[1]diadamantyl carbocation are discussed. While a 1,4-hydride shift may contribute to the reactions of the [1]diadamantane system, molecular mechanics calculations suggest that the ready formation of an olefin from 1-hydroxyspiro [adamantane-2,9′-bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane] is best interpreted in terms of a 1,5-hydride shift involving the chair-boat conformation of the bicyclononane system.

Abstract H3PO5, monoperoxyphosphoric acid easily prepared by the reaction of H2O2 with P2O5 in acetonitrile, is a very good decontamination agent. The destruction of toxic sulfur and phosphorus agents is completly achieved in very short time.

Tertiary 1-halospiro[adamantane-2,2′-adamantane] derivatives (1-halo[1]diadamantanes) have been synthesised by reaction of the 1-[1] diadamantyl cation with appropriate nucleophiles. Thermolysis of 1-chloro- or 1-bromo-[1]diadamantane, but not the 1-fluoro derivative, gives the corresponding secondary 4-halo derivative in good yield. By 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography it has been established that the 4-bromo [1]diadamantane isolated is the anti isomer, with the Br–C–C–Cspiro torsion angle close to 170°, this being the less strained of the two possible 4-substituted isomers, according to molecular mechanics calculations. Possible mechanisms for the rearrangement are discussed.

In the thermolysis of di(1-adamantyl)(1-norbonyl)methanol, Ad2NorCOH, 1a, in toluene at 220–265 °C, C–C bond cleavage within the norbornyl group of the first-formed (1-adamantyl)(1-norbornyl)ketyl radical (by loss of Ad˙) leads to ring-opened ketones and several ketonic cross-products. These are isomeric with the secondary alcohol, AdNorCHOH, and with the regular cross-product, AdNorSCOH (S = benzyl), respectively, also present in the product mixture. Formation of the ring-opened thermolysis products is particularly favoured by high temperature and the use of deuteriated solvent, which slows hydrogen transfer from the solvent to the intermediate ketyl radical. The new products are cyclopentane derivatives, formed by cleavage of the norbornyl C(1)–C(2) bond, in agreement with MM2 calculations on the transition states. Self-consistent values for the cage effect have been determined by measuring the extent of 1-[2H] labelling of the adamantane formed in [2H8] toluene and by scavenging the ketyl radical with benzenethiol in [1H8] toluene. The product composition of the scavenger-free reaction in [1H8] or [2H8] toluene has been interpreted by kinetic simulation based on the steady state approximation, a Simplex procedure being used to optimise several rate constants, in particular those for hydrogen transfer from toluene to the ketyl radical and ring opening of the latter. The Arrhenius pre-exponential factor and activation energy are both much greater for ring opening than for hydrogen transfer.

Abstract In the thermolysis of tri-(1-adamantyl)methanol about 55% of the di-(1-adamantyl)-ketyl and 1-adamantyl radicals escape from the solvent cage, the former transferring hydrogen to benzophenone and the second abstracting hydrogen from the solvent, toluene, with isotope effects on the latter reaction consistent with tunnelling.
