A new preparative method for N-adamantylation of carboxylic acid amides, ureas and for C5-adamantylation of barbituric acid in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is proposed. Tertiary 1-adamantanols and 1-(1-adamantyl)alkanols were used as adamantylating agents. The reaction of 1-(1-adamantyl)alkanols with nitriles in TFA solution was employed for the first time for the preparation of N-[1-(1-adamantyl)alkyl]amides.
