Nitro group, amino group, hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, hydroxy in the presence of an imide compound (N-hydroxyphthalimide or the like) represented by the following formula (2) or an imide compound and a promoter (transition metal compound or the like) Oxygen oxidation of adamantane derivatives having functional groups such as methyl group and isocyanato group is disclosed. By such a method, an adamantane derivative having a hydroxyl group together with functional groups such as nitro group, amino group, hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, hydroxymethyl group and isocyanato group can be efficiently obtained.n n n <Formula 2>n n n n n n n n In formula, R < 1> and R < 2> may represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, and a cycloalkyl group, R < 1> and R < 2> may combine with each other, and may form a double bond or an aromatic or non-aromatic ring, Y is O or OH and n = 1 to 3. |
