“…Using this approach, 3-methyl-, 3,5-dimethyl-and 3,5,7trimethyl-adamantane-1-carboxylic acids have been synthesised in 72%, 49.8% and 38.5% yields, respectively. 111 Also, the synthesis of 3-methyl-, 106 3-methyl-5-ethyl-and 3-bromomethyladamantane-1-carboxylic acids 107 as well as of 3-carboxymethyl-1-adamantyl-, 3-carboxymethyl-5-methyl-1-adamantyl-and 3-carboxymethyl-5,7-dimethyl-1-adamantyl-acetic acids 126 has been described. Adamantane-2-carboxylic acid was synthesised from 2-hydroxyadamantane (6).…”
