Likewise, compounds XIII, XIV were synthesized
by reaction of 1,3-dibromoadamantane with butane-
1,4-diol, followed by acylation and distillation. After
extraction with benzene (see above), the aqueous phase
was repeatedly extracted with chloroform, the extract
was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent
was distilled off, and the residue was subjected to
chromatography on silica gel using chloroform–
methanol (20:1) as eluent.
Reaction of 1,3-dibromoadamantane with pro-
pane-1,2-diol. 1,3-Dibromoadamantane, 7 g
(0.0238 mol), was added to a solution of 2.5 g
(0.1 mol) of metallic sodium in 60 ml of propane-1,2-
diol. The mixture was heated for 3 h under reflux,
poured into water, and extracted with chloroform. The
organic phase was washed with water and dried over
anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off,
and the residue was subjected to chromatography on
silica gel using benzene as eluent to isolate a mixture
of stereoisomeric 4′-methyl-7-methylidenespiro[bicy-
clo[3.3.1]nonane-3,2′-[1,3]dioxolanes] XIX and XX.
