Synthesis of Diamantane Derivatives in Nitric Acid Medias
A number of some 1-mono- and 1,4-difunctional derivatives were synthesized by reactions of diamantane with nitric acid or a mixture of HNO<sub>3</sub>-AcOH and the subsequent addition of nitrogen-containing nucleophiles. 1-Methylthiocarbonylaminodiamantane was obtained from 1-diamantanol and methylthiocyanate in sulfuric acid.
