title: Functionalized nanodiamonds part 3: thiolation of tertiary/bridgehead alcohols.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Treatment of acyclic as well as polycyclic tertiary mono- and dihydroxy hydrocarbon derivatives with thiourea in the presence of hydrobromic and acetic acid represents a convenient one-step route to the respective tertiary thiols and dithiols. This procedure was used for the preparation of diamondoid thiols of diamantane, triamantane, [121]tetramantane, and others that are prospective nanoelectronic materials.
