Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3 mmol of 1,3-dimethyladamantane, 18 mmol of biacetyl, 0.015 mmol of cobalt (II) acetate, and 3 ml of acetic acid was stirred at 60° C. under an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 4 hours. Gas chromatographic analysis of products in the reaction mixture revealed that 1,3-dimethyladamantane was converted, at a rate of 93%, to 1-acetyl-3,5-dimethyladamantane (yield 40%), 1,3-diacetyl-5,7-dimethyladamantane (yield 15%), 1-acetyl-3,5-d-methyl-7-adamantanol (yield 5%), 1,3-dimethyl-5-adamantanol (yield 6%), and 1,3-dimethyl-4-adamantanone (yield 4%).
