Adamantoylation of CH Acids
摘要
Abstract
Acylation reactions of CH acids have been studied, and an efficient approach to the synthesis of 1-adamantyl methyl ketone directly from 1-adamantylcarbonyl chlorides has been developed. The proposed method involves the reaction of carboxylic acid chlorides with diethyl malonate in the presence of sodium hydroxide followed by hydrolysis of intermediate keto diesters in an acidic medium and decarboxylation.
