Abstract

This study investigates the synthesis of 1-hydroperoxyadamantane, addressing discrepancies in the prior literature. Our results demonstrate that previous authors were unable to obtain the claimed compound under the conditions they described. We confirmed that 1-hydroperoxyadamantane can be synthesized in good yields via the reaction of 1,3-dehydroadamantane with concentrated hydrogen peroxide in DCM. Structure of 1-hydroperoxyadamantane was confirmed by SC XRD analysis. These findings clarify the conditions necessary for successful synthesis of this compound and highlight the importance of comprehensive analytical verification. This study also provides a very detailed, repeatedly verified method for synthesizing 1,3-dehydroadamantane and a description of the necessary laboratory equipment.
