Abstract

Rearrangement of 2-oximinoadamantane in hydrobromic acid and its dependence on acid concentration, temperature and reaction time was studied. The reaction affords 4-bromoadamantan-2-one, together with 4-azatricyclo[4,3,1,13,8]undecan-5-one and 4-hydroxyadamantan-2-one. This reaction can be used as a preparative method for synthesis of 4-bromoadamantan-2-one.
