Diesters of dicarboxylic acids of the adamantane series: Synthesis, physicochemical properties, and thermo-oxidative stability
A series of diesters of 1,3-adamantyldiacetic, 5-ethyl-1,3-adamantanedicarboxylic, and 5-ethyl-3-carboxy-1-adamantylacetic acids have been synthesized, and their physicochemical and thermo-oxidative properties have been studied. The properties of the diesters have been compared with those of the adamantane carboxylic acid diesters studied earlier and diesters of adipic and sebacic acids.
