Procedure

A 500 ml five-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, a stirrer, a reflux condenser, an inlet for nitrogen gas and a discharge pipe connected to a trap containing a 30% by weight aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was cooled in an ice bath. Into the flask, 6.47 g (0.022 moles) of 1,3-dibromoadamantane, 200 ml of phenol and 2.6 g (0.01 mole) of aluminum tribromide were placed. The resultant mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 6 hours and, then, the reaction was allowed to proceed under heating at 60° C. for 4 hours. The reaction product was poured into 2,000 liters of acidic ice water. After the ice melted, an organic layer was taken out, washed with pure water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and poured into methanol to separate the product. The obtained product was dried under a reduced pressure, and 3.5 g of a product was obtained.
