Abstract

Abstract The feasibility of catalytic alkylation of adamantane and 1-bromoadamantane with alkyl halides in the presence of ruthenium-containing catalysts was revealed. The optimum molar ratios between the catalyst components and the reactants, as well as the reaction conditions for the selective synthesis of mono-and dialkylsubstituted adamantane derivatives with a 70–98% yield, were determined.
