In the title compound, C18H24, the adamantane cage consists of three fused cyclohexane rings in almost ideal chair conformations, with C—C—C angles in the range 108.0 (14)–111.1 (15)°. The phenyl and 1-adamantyl substituents adopt anti orientations with a C—C—C—C torsion angle of 177.10 (16)°. In the crystal packing, the molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯π interactions into chains along the a axis.

The title compound was prepared according to a modified literature procedure published by Adkins & Billica (1948). 2-(1-Adamantyl)-2-benzyl-1,3-dithiane (0.33 mmol, 114 mg) was dissolved in 5 ml of dioxane and a large excess of Raney nickel catalyst was added to this solution. The reaction mixture was stirred and refluxed under Ar atmosphere. Further portions of Raney nickel were added until the starting material was completely consumed (monitored by GC). Subsequently, the Raney nickel was filtered off, the filtrate was diluted with water and extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic layers were washed twice with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The required product was obtained after evaporation of solvent in vacuum as a colorless crystalline powder (72 mg, 91%, mp 318–324 K). The crystal used for data collection was grown by spontaneous evaporation from deuterochloroform at room temperature.
Hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding using standard SHELXTL constraints, with their Uiso set to either 1.2Ueq of their parent atoms. In the absence of significant
Friedel pairs were merged.Data collection: CrysAlis CCD (Oxford Diffraction, 2009); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Adamantane is a molecule with an elegant structure and unique properties. The addition of the highly lipophilic adamantane cage to a known biologically active compound can significantly improve the pharmacokinetic profile of the resulting molecule, e.g. its oral bioavailability (van der Schyf et al. 2009). Moreover, the relatively stable host–guest interactions of the adamantane scaffold with β-cyclodextrin might increase the solubility of non-polar substances in polar media (van Bommel et al. 2001). Both these characteristics have an important role in drug design. This structure represents one of the few low-molecular-weight molecules bearing an adamantane moiety that has no polar function group. Therefore, this compound may be used as a standard molecule for investigations of non-polar interactions.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of a single molecule (Fig. 1). The benzene ring is nearly planar with a maximum deviation from the best plane being 0.007 (2) Å for C16. The torsion angles describing mutual alignment of the 1-adamantyl and phenyl substituents C18—C13—C12—C11, C13—C12—C11—C1 and C12—C11—C1—C2 are -73.4 (2), -177.10 (16) and 179.59 (16)°, respectively. In the crystal packing, the molecules are arranged into chains parallel to the a-axis linked by weak C—H···π interactions (Fig. 2, Table 1).
