Reaction Steps

Dissolved in 300 ml of ether was 30.0 g (0.20 mole) of 2 -adamantanon and 7.3 g (0.19 mole) of lithium aluminum hydride suspended in 150 ml of ether was added. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature (25° C). After 2-N-HCl was added to make it acidic and the water layer was extracted with dichloromethane, it was washed together with the ether layer and dried with sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by evaporation at reduced pressure to obtain white powder. The test results were as follows:
