Abstract
1-Acetyladamantane (I) reacts with thionyl chloride in the presence of pyridine to give 1-(1’-chloroetenyl)adamantane (IV). In the absence of pyridine, the same reaction affords a more complex mixture containing 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (VI), its ethyl ester (VII), and 1-chloroacetyladamantane (V).
