1-Bromoadamantane is the organobromine compound with the formula (CH2)6(CH)3CBr. A colorless solid, the compound is a derivative of adamantane with a bromine atom at one of the four equivalent methine positions.
Reactions
[edit]Although of no commercial value, 1-bromoadamantane has often been employed for testing methodology. Hydrolysis of this bromide gives the alcohol 1-hydroxyadamantane.[1]
It reacts with phenol to give para-adamantylphenol.[2]
Classified as a tertiary alkyl bromide, it is reluctant to form organometallic derivatives. With Rieke calcium however it forms the organocalcium derivative, which functions like a Grignard reagent.[3]
