Product Information

• Name: 5-Chloro-2-adamantanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Chloro-2-adamantanone is an organic solvent that has nucleophilic properties. It can act as a reactive, nucleophile, or carbonyl group. 5-Chloro-2-adamantanone is synthesized by the reaction of 2-chloroadamantane with chlorosulfonic acid in the presence of zinc chloride at room temperature. The yield of this reaction is dependent on the concentration of zinc chloride used and ranges from 23% to 66%. This reaction can be optimized by altering the reaction time and temperature, as well as by using different halides.
