Reaction Steps

To 25 milliliters of acetic acid were added 10 millimoles of adamantane, 1 millimole of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 0.05 millimole of zirconyl acetate ZrO(OAc)2. The resultant mixture was stirred at a temperature of 75° C. for 6 hours in an oxygen atmosphere. As a result, adamantane was transformed into 1-adamantanol (yield 42%), 1,3-adamantanediol (yield 31%) and 2-adamantanone (yield 7%) with a transformation rate of 91 percent.
