Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-adamantanamine (1.99 g, 13.1 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 mL) was added 2,4-butane sultone (1.87 g, 13.8 mmol). The solution was stirred at reflux for 2 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with acetonitrile (2×25 mL) and dried in vacuo. 1H NMR (DMSO, 500 MHz) δ ppm 3.20 (m, 1H), 3.05 (m, 2H), 2.67 (m, 1H), 2.07 (m, 2H), 2.00 (m, 1H), 1.95 (m, 4H), 1.82 (m, 4H), 1.69 (m, 4H), 1.55 (m, 4H), 1.12 (d, 1H, J=8.0 Hz). 13C (DMSO, 125 MHz) δ ppm 62.27, 53.91, 44.33, 37.30, 36.82, 36.77, 30.30, 30.20, 29.57, 29.50, 28.95, 17.12, 26.85, 17.44.
