Copper, silver, gold, and rhodium compounds catalyze the rearrangement of diademane (1) to triquinacene (5) and snoutene (7), respectively.Known mechanism may be adopted to explain this behaviour.The catalytic hydrogenation of 1 leads to a mixture of 6 products, 9 - 14, the composition of which was independent of the extent of reaction.Adamantane, the thermodynamically most stable isomer of all conceivable "hexahydrodiademanes", was not detected.
