2-(1-Adamant-yl)-1-(3-amino-phen-yl)ethanol

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(18)H(25)NO, mol-ecules are linked via O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the c axis. Additional weak N-H⋯O inter-actions stabilize the crystal packing. The adamantane cage consists of three fused cyclo-hexane rings in almost ideal chair conformations, with C-C-C angles in the range 107.9 (10)-111.3 (11)°.
