1-Adamantanecarboxylic acid → 1-Adamantanecarbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (0.27 g, 1.5 mmol) in 5 mL of thionyl chloride was warmed to reflux and stirred for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with 5 mL of toluene and concentrated under reduced pressure three times to afford the title compound, which was used without additional purification or characterization.
