Abstract

Abstract: A new approach to the construction of diamondoid hydrocarbons is described. The method is general and could, in principle, be used as either a single or a double homologation of any lower member of the diamondiod series into a higher member. It is illustrated by the conversion of diamantane into triamantane (single homologation) and by the first synthesis of antitetramantane (double homologation), one of three topological ...
