1-Iodoadamantane is suitable reagent used to evaluate the rate constants for the reduction of haloadamantanes by SmI2in presence of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) and H2O by GC/MS-analyzed method.It may be used as iodine atom donor for probing the intermediacy of radical to investigate the chemistry of highly reactive, strained systems such as propellane.It may be used as starting reagent in the synthesis ofN-(1-adamantyl)acetamidevianucleophilic substitution.It may be employed in the free-radical carbonylation reactions with alkenes.
