1-Chloroadamantane was employed as precursor for the synthesis of perfluoroadmantane derivatives via aerosol direct fluorination.
1-Chloroadamantane, an adamantane derivative shown to exhibit virucidal activity against the Newcastle disease virus in chick embryo fibroblasts. (Adamantane EP Impurity A)
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.
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.]
