The oxidation of adamantane (470 mM) catalysed by VO(acac) 2 (0.5 mM) with 1 atm O 2 in acetic acid at 393 K was studied. The major product was 1-adamantanol, and minor ones were 2-adamantanol and 2-adamantanone. The selectivity for 1-adamantanol (3 • -selectivity) was almost constant at 75% under a
