The amidation of heptacyclo[8.4.0.0^2,12.0^3,8.0^4,6.0^5,9.0^11,13]tetra­decane (binor-S) with aceto-, propio-, valero-, and benzonitrile was performed in the presence of water and FeCl₃·6H₂O as catalyst to give the corresponding 10-exo-amidohexacyclo[9.2.1.0^2,7.0^3,5.0^4,8.0^9,13]tetradecanes. Hydrolysis of 10-exo-acetamidohexacyclo[9.2.1.0^2,7.0^3,5.0^4,8.0^9,13]tetra­decane with sodium hydroxide in n-butanol afforded 10-exo-aminohexacyclo[9.2.1.0^2,7.0^3,5.0^4,8.0^9,13]tetradecane in quantitative yield.
