The invention relates to fluoro-substituted adamantane derivatives of the formula ##STR1## and to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are as defined herein. The invention also relates to methods of treating neurological disorders, such as memory loss and Parkinson's disease, and bacterial and viral infections, through administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I. The invention also relates to a method of increasing the metabolic stability of an adamantane-containing pharmaceutical compound by incorporating a fluoro substituent on at least one bridge-head carbon of the adamantyl group of said adamantane-containing pharmaceutical compound

Fluoro-substituted adamantane derivatives

An efficent synthesis of furan sulfonamide compounds of formula ##STR1## comprising reacting a compound of formula 11 with a Grignard reagent in a reaction inert solvent, wherein R' is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl. The compound of formula II is prepared by reacting a compound of formula III with a compound of formula IV wherein R' is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl with a chorinating reagent and an acid scaverger in an inert solvent. The invention also includes a novel compound of the formula ##STR2## wherein R' is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkyl and Q is halo, hydroxy or amino.
