Abstract
Bromination of 3-diamantanecarboxylic acid leads to a mixture of bromodiamantanecarboxylic acids which on Koch-Haaf carboxylation at high dilution affords a mixture of diamantanedicarboxylic acids with one carboxyl on the secondary and the other on the tertiary carbon atom of the diamantane skeleton. At low dilution, the Koch-Haaf carboxylation gives predominantly 3,9-diamantanedicarboxylic acid.
