Abstract
2-Oxaadamantane is prepared by two methods: From adamantanone by a four-step sequence consisting of Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, reduction or reductive methylation, iodination with ring cleavage, and recyclization, or from 2-methyl-2-adamantanol by a two-step reaction without isolation of intermediates. In a related manner, 2-thiaadamantane is prepared from adamantanone by a five-step sequence consisting of Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, reductive methylation, iodination with ring cleavage, further iodination, and cyclocondensation of 3,7-diiodobicyclo[3.3.1]nonane with sodium sulfide.Keywords
