Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/002496

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A process for producing adamantanol and adamantanone, characterized by reacting adamantane with oxygen in the presence of an oxidation catalyst comprising a combination of a rare earth metal salt and a promoter comprising an element selected from Groups 4 to 10 of the New Periodic Table. Thus, adamantane can be oxidized under mild conditions to thereby safely produce 2−adamantanol and 2−adamantanone selectively and efficiently.
