Reaction Steps

Into a flask, 1 mmole of adamantane, 0.1 mmole of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 15 mmole of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and 3 ml of acetic acid were added and stirred for 5 hours at 60° C. in an atmosphere of oxygen. The reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography, and, as a result, the conversion of adamantane was. 96%, and nitroadamantane (yield 75%), adamantanol (yield 1%), acetyloxyadamantane (yield 5%) and adamantanone (yield 4%) were formed.
