Monoetherified Diols of Diamondoids
The invention relates to functionalised diols of diamondoids in which one of the two hydroxy groups is masked by a protective group, and to methods for producing said functionalised diols. The protective group is a ?CR1R2 group, in which R1 und R2 are alkyl groups, and the protective group contains at least one halogen atom. The monoethers of the diamondoid diols are produced by reacting the diamondoid diol with a halogenated alcohol CHOR1R2 in the presence of a catalyst acid. Suitable catalyst acids are Lewis or Bronsted acids.<p>
The monoetherified diols allow for the targeted production of derivatives of the diamondoids such as, for instance, the corresponding amino alcohols and amino carboxylic acids. The amino, hydroxy and carboxylic groups of the diamondoids can be converted into many other functional groups.
