Procedure

To a suspension of 6.92 g (40.0 mmol) of 4-bromophenol and 6.08 g (40.0 mmol) of 1-adamantanol in 20 ml of dichloromethane (anhydrous) was added 2.0 ml of conc. sulfuric acid over a span of 2 minutes. The solution became orange in color and a white precipitate was formed. The solution was allowed to stir at room temperature for 8 hours, partitioned between 250 ml of water and 100 ml of ethyl ether, diluted with approximately 60 ml of sat. aqueous NaHCO3 solution and allowed to stir at room temperature. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase was washed with 3×75 ml-portions of dichloromethane. All organic phases were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield a yellow solid. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, 10% ethyl acetate in hexane) yielded the title compound as a light yellow solid. PMR (CDCl3): d 1.77 (6H, s), 2.08 (9H, s), 4.76 (1H, s), 6.53 (1H, d, J=8.4 Hz), 7.14 (1H, dd, J=8.4, 2.4 Hz), 7.29 (1H, d, J=2.4 Hz).
