Abstract: 

The selective fluorination of diamantane, triamantane,
[121]tetramantane, and [1(2,3)4]pentamantane bromides and alcohols was
achieved by using the fluorinating agents silver fluoride (AgF) and
diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST). Various mono‐, di‐, tri‐ and even
tetrafluorinated diamondoid derivatives were prepared and
characterized. We were also able to prepare the amino fluoro and the
fluoro alcohol derivatives of diamantane from the corresponding
monoprotected diamondoid diols. These reactions can be carried out in a
highly selective manner and proceed without isomerizations. The
fluorinated, unequally disubstituted derivatives are valuable compounds
for the exploration of electronic, pharmacological, and material
properties of functionalized diamondoids.
