In the 18H25NO, molecules are linked via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the c axis. Additional weak N—H⋯O interactions stabilize the crystal packing. The adamantane cage consists of three fused cyclohexane rings in almost ideal chair conformations, with C—C—C angles in the range 107.9 (10)–111.3 (11)°.

2-(1-Adamantyl)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)ethanol (350 mg, 1.16 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (34 cm3) and 7 cm3 of hydrochloric acid/water (1/1, v/v) was added. Into the refluxed and well stirred mixture, portions of an iron powder were added successively. The reaction was stopped when TLC indicated the consumption of all starting material. The mixture was neutralized with 5% solution of NaOH (50 cm3) and extracted with diethyl ether (6 × 10 cm3). Combined organic layers were twice washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuum. The purification of crude material by washing with hexane provided the desired product as a colourless crystalline powder (258 mg, 82%, mp 415–418 K). The crystal used for data collection was grown by spontaneous evaporation from diethyl ether at room temperature.
All carbon bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were refined as riding with their Uiso set to 1.2Ueq of the respective carrier atoms. The oxygen bound hydrogen was placed at calculated coordinates refined with a torsional degree of freedom, and with Uiso set to 1.5Ueq of the
Nitrogen bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically.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. |

It is matter of common knowledge that the well advised introduction of the highly lipophilic adamantane moiety into biologically active compounds might improve some pharmacological properties of the resulting molecule (van der Schyf & Geldenhuys, 2009). The title compound belongs to the series of recently synthesized building blocks for drug modification based on adamantylated aromatic amines.
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 0.006 (13) Å for C13. The torsion angles describing an arrangement of adamantane cage, benzene ring and aliphatic linker C1–C11–C12–C13, C11–C12–C13–C18, and C10–C1–C11–C12 are 158.37 (11), -95.75 (14), and -178.42 (11)°, respectively. The presented structure is linked into pairs by O–H···N hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, Table 1). The crystal packing is further stabilized via intermolecular N–H···O interactions (Table 1).
