“…Adamantylresorcinol 5 was prepared in 77% purified yield in a manner similar to that previously reported (Figure 2). 19 It was readily synthesized by the alkylation of resorcinol with bromoadamantane without added catalyst. After recrystallization from toluene and drying at 120 °C under vacuum, NMR indicated that solvent (0.5-2.0 wt %) was still present in the needles that were collected.…”
