Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 2-Methyladamantan-2-ol

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound,702-98-7, 2-Methyladamantan-2-ol, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

With the rapid development and complex challenges of chemical substances, the synthesis of new drugs is usually one of the most effective ways to increase yield.702-98-7, name is 2-Methyladamantan-2-ol, molecular formula is C11H18O, molecular weight is 166.26, as common compound, the synthetic route is as follows.Recommanded Product: 702-98-7

A reactor made of glass was charged with 160 g of n-undecane, 80 g of 2-methyladamantanol, 4.1 g of methacrylic acid and 0.92 g of p-toluenesulfonic monohydrate. The resulting mixture was maintained for 1 hour while distilling off water under atmospheric pressure. Water was removed further by reflux at 120 C. for 1 hour under reduced pressure at 150 mmHg, whereby 2-methyladamantane was prepared. It was cooled to 0 C. A methacrylate forming reaction was then carried out by adding 103.6 g of methacrylic acid and 13.7 g of boron trifluoride ethyl ether to it while stirring the resulting mixture for 2 hours. After the reaction mixture was washed with 1275.5 g of a 10% aqueous sodium carbonate solution, followed by washing three times with 160 g of deionized water. In such a manner, 260 g of a n-undecane solution of 2-methyladamantan-2-yl methacrylate was obtained. The resulting solution contained 29.6 wt. % of 2-methyladamantan-2-yl methacrylate and 5.2 wt. % of 2-methyleneadamantane. The present invention was described specifically by using specific modes. It is however apparent for those skilled in the art that the present invention can be changed or modified without departing from the gist and scope of the present invention.
