The arrangement of carbon atoms in the molecule corresponds to the arrangement of part of the carbon atoms in the diamond lattice. Exist in petroleum, the content is about 4 parts per million. Colorless crystal, its structure is highly symmetrical, the molecules are close to spherical, and can be tightly packed in the crystal lattice. Easy to crystallize.
Mainly used for the synthesis of anti-cancer, anti-tumor and other specific drugs. It can also be used to prepare advanced lubricants, photographic photosensitive material surfactants, pesticides, catalysts, etc. The hydrogens on its bridgehead carbon atoms (ie 1, 3, 5, 7) are prone to substitution reactions. For example, adamantane reacts with excess bromine to generate 1-bromoadamantane; reacts with nitrogen dioxide at 175 °C to generate 1-nitroadamantane; oxidizes with chromium trioxide and acetic acid to generate 1-adamantanol. Its derivatives can be used as medicines, for example, 1-aminoadamantane hydrochloride and 1-adamantylethylamine hydrochloride can prevent and treat influenza caused by A2 virus. Adamantane is used in the synthesis of adamantane derivatives. It can be used as heat-resistant agent, solvent-resistant agent, chemical stabilizer, synthetic lubricant, raw material for photosensitive materials; epoxy resin curing agent; intermediate for cosmetics and surfactants, etc. It can also be used to manufacture special polymers, especially optical and photosensitive materials; it can also be used in gasoline production, co-catalysts, lubricating oils, agricultural chemicals and daily chemicals, etc. It is a good new organic material.
