Formation of (1-adamantylcarbinyl)arenes from 3-azidohomoadamantane-aluminum chloride-aromatic substrates

Abstract: Reaction of 3-azidohomoadamantane with aromatic substrates catalyzed by aluminum chloride at 80 °C gave the corresponding (1-adamantylcarbinyl)arene in >90% yield. The reaction proceeds exclusively with elimination of azide ion. Competitive reaction with toluene (T)-benzene (B) gave an average kT/kB of -14/1. The results indicate that a straightforward primary cation is probably not the actual attacking electrophile. The possible intervention of a bridged ion is discussed.

“…Chloride L was obtained from alcohol M and SOCl 2 , while formate N was prepared from M and formic acid, using BF 3 (MeOH) 2 as a catalyst . For the key products, 11-OMe and 11-Cl , 3-homoadamantanol 14 was first converted to 11-Cl with SOCl 2 (reflux, 4 h). , Chloride 11-Cl could then be converted to 11-OMe by refluxing with NaOMe/MeOH for 10 h. Both 11-Cl and 11-OMe were characterized by GC−MS, as well as 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The reaction products in Scheme were then verified by GC and GC−MS comparisons with the authentic samples.…”

“…Recently, azides of polycyclic bridgehead compounds have attracted an intense interest and research activity due to their high reactivity and some useful properties. For example, secondary azidonorbornenes are potentially important as energetic fuel additives, and azidoadamantanes are used as precursors to various aza-bridged polycyclic systems. , To our knowledge, no direct preparation of azides from bridgehead hydrocarbons was reported in the literature. In particular, 2-azidonorbornane is usually synthesized by addition of HN 3 to norbornene, while azidoadamantanes are prepared from the respective adamantanols or bromoadamantanes …”

“…This result is different from the reactions of (1) with Reagents: i, PhCSSiMe, (2), AlCI, trimethylsilyl cyanide ' and with arenes,, both of which gave the corresponding 3-substituted 4-azahomoadamantanes. We were therefore interested in the bridgehead substitution route to appropriately functionalized 4-azahomoadamantanes in order to avoid the problems associated with the acid-catalysed ringexpansion route.6 Direct treatment of 3-methoxy-4-azahomoadamantane (5) with a variety of Lewis acids, such as AlCl,, TiCl,, and BF,-OEt2, in benzene gave none of the phenyl substituted product (6) because both extensive complexation of the catalyst by nitrogen and decomposition occurred,…”
