1-Bromoadamantane is the organobromine compound with the formula (CH₂)₆(CH)₃CBr. A colorless solid, the compound is a derivative of adamantane with a bromine atom at one of the four equivalent methine positions.

Reactions

Although of no commercial value, 1-bromoadamantane has often been employed for testing methodology. Hydrolysis of this bromide gives the alcohol 1-hydroxyadamantane.^[1]

It reacts with phenol to give para-adamantylphenol.^[2]

Classified as a tertiary alkyl bromide, it is reluctant to form organometallic derivatives. With Rieke calcium however it forms the organocalcium derivative, which functions like a Grignard reagent.^[3]
