Popis: Hydrolysis and carbonyl hydration of adamantane-based twisted amide 1 were studied computationally. The importance of the bridgehead methyl substituents on these reactions was determined. The carbonyl hydration of 1 is structurally and energetically much like the hydration of a transition state to amide CN bond rotation. However, hydrolysis of 1 to the amino acid is dependent on the bridgehead methyl substituents and less like hydrolysis of an amide transition state. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
