Abstract: A new tertiary amine derivative of adamantane —N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyl-1, 3-disaminomethyl adamantane dihydrochloride (1), which is a key intermediate for preparing Gemini surfactants and bola surfactants, has been synthesized in this paper. The target compound (1) can be synthesized in high yield by using 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid as raw material. The structure of these compounds has been identified.

Abstract: 3-amino-1-adamantanemethanol was synthesized from adamantane carboxylic acid following the procedures of Ritter reaction, hydrolysis, neutralization and reduced reaction without the participation of bromine. The total yield of 3-amino-1-adamantanemethanol was 43%. The structure of the target compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, MS, 1HNMR,etc. In addition, the possible reaction mechanisms was proposed.
