Adamantanone is the ketone of adamantane. A white solid, it is prepared by oxidation of adamantane.[1] It is a precursor to several adamantane derivatives.[2]
Adamantanone and some related polycyclic ketones, are reluctant to form enolates. This barrier arises because the resulting carbanion cannot exist in conjugation with the carbonyl pi-bond.[3][4][5]
Applications
[edit]Adamantanone is used as a precursor in the synthesis of bromantane and Idramantone [20098-14-0].[6]
