Abstract
Oxidation of 2-methyl-2-hydroxyadamantane by trifluoroperacetic acid i n trifluoroacetic acid gives oxaadamantane and exo-2-oxaadamantane-4-o l in a good yield. Other 2-hydroxyadamantane derivatives do not underg o this transformation. An oxidative cleavage and subsequent cyclizatio n mechanism is proposed. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
