We describe a triflic acid promoted cascade reaction of adamantane derivatives consisting of a decarboxylation of N-methyl protected cyclic carbamates and a subsequent intramolecular nucleophilic 1,2-alkyl shift to generate ring contracted iminium triflates. This reaction expands the family of similar transformations, such as Wagner-Meerwein-, Demjanov-Tiffeneau-, Meinwald- or (semi-)pinacol-rearrangement. It allows the preparation of noradamantane derivatives in a few steps, starting from simple hydroxy-substituted adamantane precursors.

This review summarizes achievements in the synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted adamantane derivatives by the construction of the tricyclic framework either by total synthesis or by ring expansion/contraction reactions of corresponding adamantane homologues. It is intended to complement reviews focusing on the preparation of 1,2-disubstituted derivatives by C-H functionalization methods.

The adamantane structure of arsenicin A and nor-adamantane structures of arsenicins B-D have gained attention as unique natural polyarsenicals, as well as hits showing promising anticancer activity. The purpose of this study is to apply the predictive power of NMR DFT calculations in order to identify a valid tool to be used in the structural elucidation of similar molecules. H- and C-NMR chemical shifts of twelve natural and synthetic polyarsenical analogs were calculated and validated by comparison with experimental data acquired in CDCl solutions, in regard to mean absolute error (MAE) values under various combinations of two methods (GIAO and CSGT), four functionals and five basis sets, also considering relativistic effects.

Influenza virus is an important RNA virus causing pandemics (Spanish Flu (1918), Asian Flu (1957), Hong Kong Flu (1968) and Swine Flu (2009)) over the last decades. Due to the spontaneous mutations of these viral proteins, currently available antiviral and anti-influenza drugs quickly develop resistance. To account this, only limited antiinfluenza drugs have been approved for the therapeutic use.

Herein, we report the development of highly potent HDAC inhibitors for the treatment of cancer. A series of adamantane and nor-adamantane based HDAC inhibitors were designed, synthesized and screened for the inhibitory activity of HDAC. A number of compounds exhibited GI50 of 10-100 nM in human HCT116, NCI-H460 and U251 cancer cells, in vitro.
