Reaction Steps

Mix 0.034 mol of isopropyl adamantane (IV) with a ten times excess of bromine (0.33 mol). Heat slowly and stir under reflux for 4 h. Subsequently, allow to cool and pour onto ice water. Decompose the excess bromine with sodium sulfite until the aqueous solution has discolored. Then extract with ether, wash the combined organic phases with sodium bicarbonate solution, dry with magnesium sulfate, filter and evaporate to dryness under vacuum. Recrystallize the residue from methanol. (Yield: 83%).
