Application

Adamantane is the structural backbone of various medicinally important compounds such as amantadine, memantine, saxagliptin and vildagliptin. It is used in the synthesis of adamantine-based dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalyst for carbenoid reactions. It can also be used as a seeding material for the nucleation of nanocrystalline diamond films.
