SYNTHESES AND PHOTOCHEMICAL-REACTIONS OF PERFLUORINATED CARBONYL-CONTAINING ADAMANTANE DERIVATIVES

F-4-Oxahomoadamantan-5-one, F-4-protoadamantanone, and F-adamantane-2, 4-dione have been synthesized for the first time by aerosol direct flu orination of their corresponding hydrocarbons. UV irradiation of F-4-o xahomoadamantan-5-one produces F-oxaadamantane, the corresponding deca rbonylation product: its first reported synthesis. UV irradiation of F -4-protoadamantanone gave F-noradamantane, the same product as from UV irradiation of F-adamantanone. All new products were characterized by mass spectrometry, F-19 NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and elemental analys is.
