无味无臭，溶于有机溶剂，不溶于水；有升华性，具有芳香味。容易结晶，具较高的挥发性和化学惰性。 应用： 金刚烷是金刚烷胺、美金刚、沙格列汀和维格列汀等多种药物重要化合物的结构骨架。 用于合成类卡宾反应的基于金刚烷的四羧酸二铑催化剂。也可作为纳米金刚石薄膜成核的种子材料。 Application： Adamantane is the structural backbone of various medicinally important compounds such as amantadine, memantine, saxagliptin and vildagliptin. It is used in the synthesis of adamantine-based dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalyst for carbenoid reactions. It can also be used as a seeding material for the nucleation of nanocrystalline diamond films.
