Adamantane (CAS: 281-23-2) is a tetrahedral cyclic hydrocarbon containing 10 carbon atoms and 16 hydrogen atoms with its basic structure being the chair form of cyclohexane. It is a highly symmetric and very stable compound. Adamantane has the following characteristics: (1) very stable to light (2) good lubrication force; (3) highly lipophilic: (4) almost tasteless and is sublimate; (5) Although the reactivity is not as active as the reactivity of benzene, but synthesizing of its derivatives is very easy. It is mainly used for the synthesis of special drugs of anti-cancer and anti-tumor. It can also be used to prepare advanced lubricants, the surfactants of photosensitive material, pesticides, catalysts and the like. The hydrogen atom of its bridgehead carbon atoms (i. e. 1, 3, 5, and 7) is easy to have substitution reaction. Adamantane can also be obtained through the isomerization between tetrahydro-dicyclopentadiene in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride. Its derivative can be used as medicaments, e.g., 1-Amino-Adamantane Hydrochloride and 1-Adamantyl Triethylamine Hydrochloride can prevent the influenza caused by the virus A2. Adamantane can be used for the synthesis of adamantane derivative. It can often be used as pharmaceutical intermediates as well as being used as the raw material of light-sensitive material, photosensitive materials, cosmetics and surfactant intermediates and also the epoxy curing agent. Adamantane is the structural backbone of various medicinally important compounds such as Amantadine, Memantine, Saxagliptin and Vildagliptin. It is used in the synthesis of adamantine-based dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalyst for carbenoid reactions. It can also be used as a seeding material for the nucleation of nanocrystalline diamond films.
