REACTION OF HALOADAMANTANES WITH SALTS OF NITRO-COMPOUNDS

Silver and mercury salts of nitro compounds react with bromo- or chlor oadamantanes with the formation of products of C- and/or O-alkylation, the ratio of which depends on the structure of the initials reactants . The direct experimental evidence of nitronic esters to be isomerized into nitro derivatives and of their role as intermediates in the form ation of the nitro derivatives in the alkylation of nitro compounds ha s been presented for the first time.
