Abstract: | Via direct oxidative addition of 1,1-dichloroethylene to adamantane or 1,3-dimethyladamantane one obtains diethanoic acids of the adamantane series, which are useful in themselves or for preparation of other functional derivatives. Optimal reaction conditions were found by mathematical modeling.A. V. Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis, Volgograd Polytechnic Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117912 Moscow.
