Abstract

Abstract Reaction of adamantan-1-ol with heptenes in conc. sulfuric acid affords a complicated mixture of hydrocarbons, containing heptyladamantanes, diheptyladamantanes, tetradecyladamantanes, diadamantylheptanes and adamantyl- heptyladamantylheptanes. The reaction mixture can be separated into narrower fractions containing hydrocarbons of approximately equal molecular weight. The method can be ...
