Adamantane Derivatives

Adamantane is the most stable alicyclic compound, with ten carbons having the same structure as diamond.

Mitsubishi Gas Chemical has succeeded in synthesizing Adamantanol derivatives using its own oxidation technology. This allows various derivatives with special characteristics such as photoresist monomers for ArF lithography to be provided.

• High Purity for ArF photoresisit monomer.
• We are also willing to consider production by commissioning on request.

MGC has developed original technology in oxidation of Adamantane.

• Adamantane boats favorable characteristic as a curing resin, such as high rigidity, transparency, high Tg, lubricatability, dimensional stability, because of its alicyclic structure.

We can produce the above derivatives with high selectivity and yields under the mild condition.

We can convert into various derivatives such as carboxylic derivatives and acrylate derivatives, using diols and tirols as starting materials.

Application examples
• As monomer unit and ingredients for resin and optical plastics. As intermediates for pharmaceuticals.
