1-(Bromomethyl)adamantane

Abstract

The title compound, C11H17Br, has crystallographically imposed mirror symmetry in the solid state with molecules bisected by mirror planes parallel to the crystallographic ac plane (five C atoms, three H atoms and the Br atom lie on the mirror plane). The asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule. The crystal packing is stabilized only via weak non-specific van der Waals interactions.
