Previously described methods for the production of derivatives of pentacyclo(6.3.0.0/sup 2,6/.0/sup 3,10/.0/sup 5,9/)undecane (I) (symmetrical trishomocubane) are based on the isomerization of the carbon skeleton in substituted pentacyclo(5.4.0.0/sup 2,6/.0/sup 3,10/.0/sup 5,9/)undecanes by the action of electrophilic reagents. The authors studied the possibility of the direct introduction of a bromine atom into the framework of the hydrogen (I). It was found that trisubane (I), unlike adamantane, does not react with bromine even after prolonged boiling. However, if catalytic amounts of aluminum chloride or bromide are added to the reaction mixture at 20/degree/C, hydrogen bromide is released and 1-bromotrishomocubane (II) is formed. The structure of the bromide (II) was demonstrated.
