Procedure

In an atmosphere of nitrogen, 15 mmole of lithium aluminium hydride was suspended into 15 mL of tetrahydrofurane (THF). To the resultant mixture was slowly added 10 mmole of 1-carboxy-3-adamantanol obtained by the method of Example 2 while keeping the temperature of the mixture at 10° C. or below by using an ice bath. After warming the mixture to room temperature, the mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. As a result, 1-hydroxymethyl-3-adamantanol (yield 95%) was obtained. The conversion of 1-carboxy-3-adamantanol was 99%.
