3,5,7-Tripropyl-1-azaadamantane-4,6,10-triol

Abstract

The title compound, C18H33NO3, was prepared according to a highly diastereoselective hydrogenation procedure from 3,5,7-triallyl-1-azaadamantane-4,6,10-trione. The crystal structure of the title compound contains two crystallographically independent molecules (Z′ = 2), which are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonding into chains. In contrast to the azaadamantanones, the azaadamantanetriol core of the title compound does not show any particular C—C bond elongation.
