5-Hydroxy-2-adamantanone (5-hydroxyadamantan-2-one) is a versatile starting material for synthesising various 2,5- or 1,4-disubstituted adamantanes. Chemical methods for synthesizing 5-hydroxy-2-adamantanone include disproportionation of 2-hydroxyadamantane and oxidation of 2-adamantanone. A synthetic approach to produce 5-hydroxy-2-adamantanone using P450cam (CYP101A1; a camphor monooxygenase) coupled with NADH regeneration as an oxidation biocatalyst has been reported[1].
