During the action of boron tribromide on adamantanone and pentacyclo(6.3.0.0/sup 2,6/.0/sup 3,10/.0/sup 5,9/)undecane-4-one the carbonyl group is substituted by a dibromomethylene group. Protoadamantan-4-one is converted into 1,2-dibromoadamantane. The treatment of pentacyclo(5.4.0.0/sup 2,6/.0/sup 3,10/,0/sup 5,9)undecane-8,11-dione also leads to isomerization of the carbon skeleton of the molecule, and 7,7,11-tribromopentacycle(6.3.0.0/sup 2,6/,0/sup 3,10/,0/sup 5,9/)undecane-1-ol is formed. The latter served as the starting compound for the production of a series of 1-substituted derivatives of pentacyclo(6.3.0.0/sup 2,6/.0/sup 3,10/,0/sup 5,9/)undecane. 1-Hydroxypentacyclo(6.3.0.0/sup 2,6/,0/sup 3,10/,0/sup 5,9/)undecane is carbonylated by the Koch mechanism to pentacyclo(6.3.0.0/sup 2,6/0/sup 3,10/,0/sup 5,9/)undecane-1-carboxylic acid.
