Chemical Properties
white to light grey adhering crystalline solid or
Uses
1-Chloroadamantane was employed as precursor for the synthesis of perfluoroadmantane derivatives via aerosol direct fluorination.
Uses
1-Chloroadamantane, an adamantane derivative shown to exhibit virucidal activity against the Newcastle disease virus in chick embryo fibroblasts. (Adamantane EP Impurity A)
General Description
An unusual zwitterionic diradical intermediate complex was generated during the photoinduced electron-transfer substitution reaction between 1-chloroadamantane and
tert-butylamine system in a hydrocarbon glass.
Purification Methods
Crystallise the chloride from aqueous MeOH and sublime it at 100o/12torr. It also crystallises from MeOH at -70o. [Stetter et al. Chem Ber 92 1629 1959, Schleyer & Nicholas J Am Chem Soc 83 2700 1961, Beilstein 5 IV 469.]
