Abstract

AbstractThe conversion of adamantane exclusively to 1‐adamantyl trifluoroacetate in a refluxing trifluoroacetic acid solution of palladium acetate at 1 atm of air or nitrogen was confirmed. The conversion can be made quantitative. The 1‐adamantyl trifluoroacetate was hydrolysed to yield 1‐adamantanol in 90% isolated yield. The adamantane functionalization is accompanied by concomitant formation of a palladium mirror.
