Oxidation of adamantanes by oxygen was effectively achieved by use of sodium nitrite as a catalyst in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to give 1-adamantyl trifluoroacetates, from which adamantanols were obtained in good yields. A catalytic amount of sodium nitrite was essential and TFA was the best solvent among solvents examined for this oxidation. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
