Reaction Steps

Mix 1.4 mol of 1-bromo-3,5-dimethyl adamantane (I) in hexane with 0.6 mol of aluminum bromide at -75° C. Subsequently, pass ethylene through the solution for 20-30 minutes, stir for 5 min., and pour the reaction mixture onto ice water. Extract with ether, dry the organic phase and evaporate to dryness. Recrystallize the residue from methanol. (Yield: 48%).
