When both diastereomers of [5‐D]‐2‐methyl‐2‐adamantyl 2,4‐dinitrophenolate ( 18a ) and [5‐D]‐2‐phenyl‐2‐adamantyl 2,4‐dinitrophenolate ( 18b ) were solvolyzed in 40% aqueous acetone, 1:1 mixtures of ( E )‐ and (Z)‐[5‐D]‐2‐R‐adamantan‐2‐ols ( 19a, b ) were obtained. The stereoselectivity of secondary 2‐adamantyl cations, attributed to σ participation, is effectively suppressed by charge‐stabilizing groups at C‐2.
