Adamantane-containing esters as potential components of thermostable lubricating oils
Some esters of dimethyladamantanedicarboxylic acids with aliphatic alcohols and the ester of dimethyladamantanedicarbinol with an aliphatic acid have been synthesized, and their properties have been studied; their viscosity-temperature properties and thermo-oxidative stability as potential components of high-temperature lubricating oils have been examined.
