Abstract

Starting from the P. von R. Schleyer's ingenious discovery of isomerisation of tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene to adamantane3, the" stabilomeric"(term see 4) approach to synthesis of hydrocarbons has been especially fruitful in the area of adamantane-like structures5. The key idea of this approach consists in a relief of strain in the course of a transformation of a skeleton via rearrangement/s. As a ramification, we have expanded on ...
