Reaction Steps

To a mixture of di-μ-chlorobis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)diiridium(I) [Ir(cod)Cl]2 (6.7 mg, 0.01 mmol) and sodium carbonate (64 mg, 0.6 mmol) in toluene (1.0 ml), 1,3-adamantanediol (1 mmol) and vinyl acetate (6 mmol) were added, followed by stirring at 100° C. in an atmosphere of argon gas for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography to find that 1,3-bis(vinyloxy)adamantane and 3-vinyloxy-1-adamantanol were produced in yields of 41% and 16%, respectively, with a conversion from 1,3-adamantanediol of 97%.
