Reaction Steps

Into a flask, 1 mmole of adamantane, 0.1 mmole of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 2 ml of nitrogen dioxide (N2O), 6 ml of benzonitrile (6 ml) and 1.2 ml of acetic acid were added and stirred for 12 hours at 60° C. in an atmosphere of nitrogen monoxide (NO). The reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography, and, as a result, the conversion of adamantane was 98%, nitroadamantane (yield 68%), adamantanol (yield 6%) and acetyloxyadamantane (yield 4%) were formed.
