Reaction Steps

Chlorination reaction of 1-adamantyl methylalcohol which was obtained by the same method described in (1) was carried out under the same conditions for the bromination reaction shown in (2) except that zinc bromide and hydrobromic acid were replaced by zinc chloride and hydrochloric acid respectively. The product was purified by recrystallized from methanol. Melting point of 1-adamantyl methyl chloride thus obtained was 32°-34° C and the yield was 91%.
