Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 7 was repeated, except that a mixture further comprising 0.3 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide in addition to the 1,3-dimethyladamantane, biacetyl, cobalt(II) acetate, and acetic acid was subjected to the reaction. As a result, 1-acetyl-3,5-dimethyladamantane (yield 19%, selectivity 53%), 1,3-diacetyl-5,7-dimethyladamantane (trace), 1-acetyl-3,5-dimethyl-7-adamantanol (trace), 1,3-dimethyl-5-adamantanol (yield 7%, selectivity 19%), and 1,3-dimethyl-4-adamantanone (yield 3%, selectivity 8%) were formed, at a conversion rate from 1,3-dimethyladamantane of 36%.
