Abstract

Abstract Reactions of 2-adamantan-2-one, acetone cyanohydrin, and amine lead to the formation of substituted 2-amino-2-cyanoadamantanes. The reaction is of a general character as has been proved by examples on a series of ketones and amines and it proceeds through the formation from the acetone cyanohydrin and amines of 2-amino-2- cyanopropane derivatives reacting further with the carbonyl compounds.
