Synthesis of 4-(1-Adamantyl)-1-Naphthol and 4-(1-Adamantyl)-1-Methoxynaphthalene

 Adamantylation of 1-napthol and 1-methoxynaphthol in the mixture of phosphoric and glacial acetic acids leads to the formation of 2- and 4-substituted products. Formed products are less involved into the further oxidative transformations in used conditions.
