1,3-Adamantanedicarbonyl chloride (CAS: 56904-87-5; Formula: C₁₂H₁₄Cl₂O₂) is a vital adamantane derivative synthesized via the chlorination of 1,3-adamantanedicarboxylic acid using thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride. This crystalline solid serves as a high-purity acylating agent in organic synthesis.
Strictly store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent hydrolysis. Use full PPE due to severe corrosivity and moisture sensitivity. Not for direct clinical use; handle only in controlled industrial settings.
