Adamantanone is the ketone of adamantane. A white solid, it is prepared by oxidation of adamantane. [1] It is a precursor to several adamantane derivatives. [2]
Adamantanone and some related polycyclic ketones, are reluctant to form enolates. This barrier arises because the resulting carbanion cannot exist in conjugation with the carbonyl pi-bond. [3] [4] [5]
