Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of pyridinium triflate 1 (100 mg, 0.29 mmol), benzotrifluoride (PhCF3, 0.29 mL), MgO (11.5 mg, 0.29 mmol), and 28 (21.8 mg, 0.14 mmol) was subjected to the standard procedure to afford 0.0363 g of a yellow oil, which was determined by 1H NMR analysis to consist of 8.7 mg of Bn2O and 0.0276 g (80%) of 1-benzyloxyadamantane (3i). Spectroscopic analysis was consistent with the data reported previously for 3i.
