Description

1-Adamantane carboxylic acid is a hydrophobic molecule that can form a complex with metal hydroxides. It is used in the process optimization of the synthesis of sodium salts. 1-Adamantane carboxylic acid binds to metals, such as magnesium and calcium, in a coordination geometry that is similar to that observed for water molecules. The complexation of 1-Adamantane carboxylic acid with metal ions results in an acidic environment, which is important for bowel disease. This acid complex also has anti-inflammatory properties. The hydroxyl group on the 1-adamantane carboxylic acid reacts with oxygen to form an alcohol group and this reaction mechanism may be involved in physiological functions.
