Polysulfonylamines. CXXI. t Three N,N-disulfonylated 1-adamantylamines

N,N-Disulfonylated 1-adamantylamines, hitherto elusive, can easily be prepared by reacting 1-bromoadamantane with silver disulfonylamides suspended in anhydrous benzene. Structures have been determined for N, N-bis(methanesulfonyl)- 1-adamantylamine, CI2H21NO4S2, N, N-bis(p-toluenesulfonyl)- 1-adamantylamine, C24H29NO4S2, and 2-( 1 -adamantyl)- 1,1,3,3-tetraoxo1,3,2 - benzodithiazole [ N- ( 1 - adamantyl ) - o - benzenesulfonimide], CI6HI9NOaS2. Prominent features in the molecular structures are the nearly planar central CNS2 groupings and the exceptionally long Nsp2--Csp 3 bonds (1.53-1.56 ,A,).
