Reaction Steps

121 mg (0.728 mmoles) of 3-methyl-1-adamantanol are dissolved in 0.2 mL n-heptane and 0.2 mL cyclohexane. A mixture of 0.2 mL (2.25 mmoles) of acetic anhydride and 2 microliters (0.036 mmoles) of concentrated sulfuric acid is added, and the mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 20.5 hours. The solution is dissolved in 10L of ether and extracted with 10 mL of water. The aqueous layer is extracted with 10 mL ether. The ether layers are combined, extracted with 2×mL of water followed by 40 mL of aqueous sodium bicarbonate (10 g/liter), dried over magnesium sulfate, and stripped of solvent in vacuo. The product is a colorless oil with Rf 0.55 (silica: eluant hexane 75%, ethyl acetate 25%).
