Description

2-Methyl-2-adamantanol is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH(CH)COOH. It is a colorless liquid that boils at 109°C and freezes at -78°C. This compound has been used as an additive to gasoline, in cosmetics, as a solvent for polymers, and as a fuel. 2-Methyl-2-adamantanol is synthesized by the reaction of 1-adamantanol with hydrogen chloride gas in the presence of dimethylformamide. The product can be purified by recrystallizing it from methanol or chloroform. The structure of this compound was determined using X-ray crystallography. 2-Methyl-2-adamantanol is an alicyclic molecule that contains two methyl groups (-CH3) on adjacent carbons (C). It also has a hydrogen bond between the two methyl groups on C1 and C2. This compound has been
