Adamantanone is the ketone of adamantane. A white solid, it is prepared by oxidation of adamantane.[1] It is a precursor to several adamantane derivatives.[2]

Adamantanone and some related polycyclic ketones, are reluctant to form enolates. This barrier arises because the resulting carbanion cannot exist in conjugation with the carbonyl pi-bond.[3] [4][5]
