Abstract:
1. A process for preparing an adamantane polyol by reacting an adamantane represented by general formula (1) with a ruthenium compound and a hypochlorite in a biphasic water/organic solvent system, the process comprising the steps of: adding an inorganic adsorbent to a reaction system; and adding an alkali to a reaction mixture to separate the ruthenium compound together with the inorganic adsorbent, and reusing the separated ruthenium compound and inorganic adsorbent in a subsequent reaction wherein the formula, a substituent Rn independently represents an alkyl group, an aryl group, a cycloalkyl group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an acyloxy group, or a halogen group; and n is an integer of 0 to 13.
