Acetic Acid → 1-Nitroadamantane

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.8 g (0.024 mole based on N2O3 basis) of the frozen blue liquid, 1 mmole of adamantane, 0.05 mmole of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 5 ml of acetic acid were mixed, and then the mixture was reacted for 10 hours at 100° C. with stirring. The reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography, and, as a result, nitroadamantane (yield 81%) was formed with conversion of 99%.
