Adamantyl, benzyl, and benzhydryl alcohols have been converted to their corresponding bromides and chlorides in the absence of a solvent, rapidly and in high yield using boron tribromide and tin(IV) chloride, respectively. Additionally the above bromides and chlorides can be interconverted by a transhalogenation process using the same reagents in the absence of solvent.
