Abstract

Reaction of Adamatane, Adamantanecarboxylic Acid and Bicyclo(3.3.1) nonanecarboxylic Acid Derivatives with Acetonitrile in Liquid Bromine.-Adamantane-and bicyclononanecarboxylic acids (cf. (I) and (V), resp.) react with MeCN in liquid bromine to furnish acetamino derivatives, whilst the adamantane derivatives (VI) lacking a carboxy-substituent provide amino derivatives (VII) under similar conditions. Mechanistic suggestions are discussed. -(KHIL'CHEVSKII, A. N.; BAK-LAN, V. F.; KUKHAR', V. P.; Zh.
