residue which was chromatographed on a neutral alumina (activity I, CH2C12-AcOEt) column to afford the N-methyl derivative 19 (28 mg, 53%) which was identical with the sample obtained from 1 (IR and 'H NMR spectral comparison).ll-Cyan0-12-aza-l(2)-homodiamantane (22). A vigorously stirred mixture of azide 1 (225 mg, 0.98 mmol), NaCN (5 g, 102 mmol), and Adogen 464 (0.3 mL) in water (60 mL) and n-hexane (200 mL) was irradiated as above for 3.5 h. The workup and chromatography on a silica gel column (CH2C12-AcOEt) afforded the amino nitrile 22 as colorless crystals: 96 mg (43%); mp 186-188 "C; IR (KBr) 3355,2920,2230,1437,1138 cm-' ; 'H NMR (CDClJ 6 3.3-3.0 (m, l), 1.98 ( 8 , 1, D20 exchangeable), 2.5-1.3 (m, 18); mass spectrum, m / e (relative intensity) 228 (M+, loo), 227 (38).
