In the reaction of 1-adamantanol with α-olefins (CH2=CHR) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid the main reaction products are 1-(1-adamantyl)1-alkanols, and the side products are the isomeric alcohols and alkenyladamantanes.In the reaction of 1-adamantanol with 1,5-hexadiene selective reaction occurs between the initial alcohol and only one double bond of the diene; adamantylated hydrocarbons are mainly formed as a result of the reaction.The reaction of 1-adamantanol with α-olefins in trifluoroacetic acid can be used as a preparative method for the production of hydroxyalkyladamantanes.
