Reaction Steps

To 25 milliliters of acetic acid were added 10 millimoles of adamantane, 1 millimole of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 0.05 millimole of acetylacetonatocopper(II) Cu(AA)2. In an oxygen atmosphere, the resultant mixture was stirred at a temperature of 75° C. for 6 hours. Adamantane was transformed, with a transformation rate of 53%, into 1-adamantanol (yield 50%) and 2-adamantanone (yield 4%). The selectivity for the alcohol and ketone was 97%.
