The multi-step synthesis of rigid and multifunctionalized azaadamantane skeletons from small molecules has always been a challenge in the field of adamantane chemistry. In this work, the bisepoxidized intermediate was obtained via ketalization, bromination, elimination, and Prilezhaev oxidation using bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,6-dione as the raw material, which was then ammonolyzed and cyclized to generate 9,10-dihydroxy-2-azaadamantane-4,8-dione bis(ethylene ketal) with ammonia at 120 ℃. After that, 9,10-dinitroyloxy-2-nitro-2-azaadamantane-4,8-dione bis(ethylene ketal) was synthesized by N,O-nitration with the overall yield of 10% over six steps. Furthermore, when the bisepoxidized intermediate was ammonolyzed at 135 ℃, a skeleton isomer 4,10-dihydroxy-2-azaprotoadamantane-5,9-dione bis(ethylene ketal) was formed, which was then transformed to the corresponding O-nitrated and N,O-dinitrated derivatives through N-acetylation, deketalization and nitration, respectively. These provide a reliable method for the subsequent derivation of multifunctional 2-azaadamantane and its skeleton isomer 2-azaprotoadamantane, which might be used as basic scaffolds for high energy density cage-like compounds.
