A combination of AlCl3 and tetramethylsilane was studied for the bridgehead methylation of adamantanederivatives. The influence of rearrangements was illustrated with various examples and the synthetic utility was demonstrated by scaling-up of the reaction. Mechanistic studies suggest the formation of a reaction methylation complex formed from tetramethylsilane and AlCl3.
