Multiple chlorinations and arylations at the tertiary positions of adamantane are promoted by FeCl3-doped K10 montmorillonite in CCl4 or in aromatic solvents.The process, remarkably easy implement, can be tailored to selective formation of monosubstituted 1-adamantyl derivatives or 1,3-disubstituted adamantanes.The process achieves alkylation at the meta- and para-positions of toluene leading to a purely statistical distribution and displays no substrate specificity in competition experiments between toluene and benzene.
