A method for preparing alkyl derivatives of cage-structure compounds is proposed.It relies on the use of Grignard reactions with a high boiling point solvent.The reactions take place at atmospheric pressure.Methylation of adamantane, diamantane, and homoadamantane occurs with quantitative yield.With other primary alkyl groups, yields are better than 60percent.Competition between alkylation and secondary reactions is discussed on the basis of a free radical mechanism.
