General description

2-(1-Adamantyl)-4-methylphenol is a 2-adamantylphenol derivative. It has been synthesized by the adamantylation of p-cresol with 1-adamantanol. The structure has been confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR.

Application

2-(1-Adamantyl)-4-methylphenol is a suitable starting reagent used in the synthesis of 2-(1-adamantyl)-4-methylthiophenol. It may also be used in the synthesis of 3-(1-adamantyl)-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde by reacting with urotropin. It may be used in the synthesis of adamantyl-substituted chromium(III) complex, a catalyst for enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reactions.
