Reaction Steps
A mixture of 0.3 mol of adamantane, 1.8 mol of biacetyl, 1.5 mmol of cobalt (II) acetate, and 300 ml of acetic acid was stirred at 60° C. under an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated to about 20% by weight, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried and washed with hexane to give 1-acetyladamantane in yield of 52% at a conversion rate from adamantane of 87%.
