Synthesis of novel inflexible buildings derived from 1,1′-biadamantane: Fullerenes, Nanotubes and Carbon Nanostructures: Vol 0, No 0

Summary

As we speak adamantane, the only diamondoid, has attracted a lot consideration, as a consequence of its distinctive construction and properties for the development of nanostructured entities. 1,1′-biadamantane is an almost inflexible hydrocarbon shaped from the covalent attachment of the 2 adamantane items. On this research, adamantane was first transformed to 1,1′-biadamantane, and the obtained 1,1′-biadamantane was brominated to offer its hexabromo spinoff. The six bromine atoms within the hexabromo spinoff had been then substituted by six phenols through a Friedel-Crafts alkylation response to yield the novel hexakis (4-hydroxyphenyl) spinoff. Additionally, hydrolysis of the heaxabromo spinoff afforded the novel hexahydroxy spinoff.
