Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A total of 13 mmole of acryloyl chloride was added dropwise to a mixture of 10 mmole of 1,3-adamantanediol, 15 mmole of triethylamine and 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran over about 30 minutes. After the completion of addition, the resulting mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1.5 hours. After the addition of water, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was concentrated, and the resulting concentrate was subjected to column chromatography on a silica gel to thereby yield the title compound in a yield of 63%.
