The ionic methylation of adamantane and 1-hydroxy-, 1-chloro-, and 1-bromoadamantanes was realized with tetramethylsilane in the presence of aluminum halides; the products were mono- and polyalkyladamantanes.Compounds of the adamantane series are methylated more readily than the analogous derivatives of cyclic and acyclic hydrocarbons of other types; the reaction takes place under mild conditions and leads to the production of methylation products with overall yields close to quantitative.
