Condensation of 1-phenylsulfanylpropan-2-one with 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.1(3,8)]dodecane gave 1-phenylsulfanyl-3,6-diazahomoadamantan-9-one which was reduced to 1-phenylsulfanyl-3,6-diazahomoadamantane, and the latter was subjected to desulfurization over Raney nickel to obtain previously unknown 3,6-diazahomoadamantane. Heating of 9-phenyl-3,6-diazahomoadamantan-9-ols with Raney nickel resulted in reduction of the hydroxy group with formation of 9-phenyl-3,6-diazahomoadamantanes.
