The bridgehead 1-adamantyl cation 3a and a series of methyl-substituted adamantylcations 3b-d have been prepared in superacid medium and characterized by'H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The relative deshielding of bridgehead y carbons with respect to/3-methylenes has been rationalized interms of a CC hyperconjugative effect. The cation generated from the ionization of exo-5, 6-trimethylene-2-norbornylderivatives has been shown to be the equilibrating 2, 3-trimethylene-2-norbornyl cation 12. The temperature-dependent 13C NMR spectroscopic studies on 12 indicate the barrier for the degenerate exo-2, 3-hydrogen shift, AG*= 7.2 kcal/mol. The cation 12 in a solution of S02C1F is stable even at room temperature; however, in a solution of S02, it smoothly and irreversibly rearranges to bridgehead 1-adamantyl cation 3a. On theother hand, 2-methyl-5, 6-exo-trimethylene-2-norbornyl cation 17 was found to be quite stable. The 1-adamantyl cation was also studied as its isolated SbF6" salt by solid-state CPMAS 13C NMR spectroscopy. The bridgehead 1-and 4-diamantyl cations 4 and 27 were also prepared and studied. Fleteronuclear-correlated 2D NMR spectra were also obtained for 3a and 4 and used in many assignments of the NMR shifts. Cation 27 slowly and irreversibly rearranges to 4. The cation 4 was also generated by the ionizationof 3-diamantyl derivatives. The above rearrangements to the thermodynamically more stable ion 4 has been rationalized in terms of facile intermolecular hydrogen shifts rather than intramolecular shifts. The bridgehead diamantyl cations 4 and 27 also derive theirstability from CC hyperconjugativeeffects similar to their adamantyl analogues. In contrast to the instability of secondary 3-diamantyl cation the corresponding 3-methyl-and 3-phenyl-substituted analogues were found to be rather stable. 3, 3'-(l, l'-Biadamantyl) dication 6 and 4, 9-diamantyl dication 5 were also generated and studied. The CC hyperconjugative stabilizing interaction which is found “operative” in all of the bridgehead cations including dication6 is absent in the 4, 9-diamantyl dication 5. Charge-charge repulsion in 5 seems to diminish such CC hyperconjugative interaction. All attempts to prepare the 1, 3-adamantyl dication 8 or theOver the past 2 decades, extensive research has been carried out pertaining to the chemistry of adamantane, diamantane, and other so-called diamondoid molecules. 2, 3 The unique structural features of adamantane (1) and diamantane (2) are also ideal for a systematic study of their cations, relating to both structure and chemical reactivity.
