Alkoxy(aryl) adamantylidenes react with chromium(VI) or molybenum(VI) oxide diperoxides in CHCl3 under argon yielding the corresponding 1,2-dioxetanes and/or carbonyl products derived from the fragmentation of the dioxetanes. The reaction most likely proceeds via preliminary epoxidation of the unsaturaled substrates.
Thermally stable 1,2-dioxetanes have been synthesized by 9,10-dicyano-anthracene (DCA)-sensitized photooxygenation of alkoxy (aryl)-methylidene adamantanes. The reactions most likely proceed via a chain electron-transferprocess.

Thermally stable 4-alkoxy-4-(aryl)spiro [1,2-dioxetane-3,2'-adamantanes] 2a-e have been synthesized by reaction of oxygen-saturated methylene chloride solutions of alkoxy(aryl) methylidene adamantanes 1a-e with catalytic amounts of one electron oxidizing agents as tris-p-bromophenyl ammoniumyl and/or tris-o,p-dibromophenyl ammoniumyl hexachloroantimonates (reagents A,B). Similar reactions carried out on 1a-d, under argon-atmosphere, yield adamantyl-arylketones 5a-c together with the corresponding alcohols 6a-b. Both processes most likely involve the formation of radical cation intermediates (1+), leading to the reaction products through chain electron-transfer mechanisms.

Several reactions of 2-(5-phenyladamantyl) derivatives have been examined with the objective of determining the stereochemistry of addition of electrophiles to a trigonal center Ct carrying a full or partial negative charge. These reactions included the carbonation and bromination of the 2-lithioadamantane(s) attack at the zu face was found to be predominant. Methylation of 5-phenyl-2-adamantanone with either methyllithium or lithium dimethylcuprate gave mixtures of the methyl alcohols in which the E-isomer is the main product. Attempts to study the reactions of the enolate anion derived from the (E)- and (Z)-phenyl 2-(5-phenyladamantyl) ketones 7-Ph were not successful: bromination could not be forced at all, and methylation and protonation occur at oxygen. The enol ether and enol were studied also; brominations of these neutral species occur at the zu face. It is concluded that even the imposition of negative charge upon the trigonal center does not engender the type of hyperconjugation envisioned by Anh in the capture of electrophiles. Protonation of the enol ether led to an equilibrium mixture of ketones 7-Ph; protonation of the enol itself gave an excess of the E-isomer. Possible reasons for this unexpected outcome are discussed.
