1-Acetyl-3-hydroxyadamantane and 1-Carboxy-3-hydroxyadamantane

The crystal structures of the adamantane derivatives, 1-acetyl-3-adamantanol, C₁₂H₁₈O₂, (4) and 3-hydroxyadamantane-1-carboxylic acid, C₁₁H₁₆O₃, (5), have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Both structures show extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving the hydroxyl and acetyl groups in compound (4) and the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in compound (5).
