Pyrolysis of 3-homoadamantyl acetate to 4-methyleneprotoadamantane and 3-vinylnoradamantane
Abstract
Pyrolysis of 3-homoadamantyl acetate at 500–600 °C yielded 4-methyleneprotoadamantane and 3-vinylnoradamantane, which were converted into various derivatives by ozonolysis, hydrogenation, and rearrangement.
