Abstract
The mechanism for the rapid rearrangement of the adamantyl cation (1-y l --> 2-yl, or vice versa) in sulfuric acid utilises catalytic adamant ane in an intermolecular hydride transfer reaction; a slower rearrange ment mechanism involves reversible ring-opening of the adamantyl skele ton, and allows incorporation of high levels of deuterium.
