Participants

Reaction Steps

This was prepared following the method of Example 3A. The intermediate diazoketone was prepared from 1-adamantane carboxylic acid chloride (2.98 g, 15 mmol) and CH2N2 (generated from Diazald® 8.7 g, 40 mmol) and subsequently treated with a saturated solution of HBr in EtOAc. Flash chromatography on silica gel (eluant EtOAc:hexane fr 8:92) afforded the title compound as a pale brown mobile oil (2.30 g, 60%).
