PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject new compound useful as a raw material for electroconductive polymers, photographic photo-sensitive materials, fluorescent materials, transparent resin coatings for organic glasses, optical materials for optical fibers, optical elements, optical lenses, holograms, optical disks or contact lenses, and the like. SOLUTION: A compound of formula I [X<1> is (protected) hydroxyl; X<2> is nitro, (protected) amino, an N-substituted amino or the like; X<3> and X<4> are each H, an alkyl, nitro or the like], e.g. 1-acetylamino-3-adamantanol. The compound of formula I is obtained by subjecting an adamantane derivative of formula V to at least one process selected from an oxidation process for bringing the compound of formula V into contact with oxygen in the presence of an oxidation catalyst comprising an imide compound of formula II [R<1> and R<2> are each H, a halogen, an alkyl or the like; Y is O or hydroxyl; (n) is 1-3] (e.g. a compound of formula III or IV), a nitration process and a carboxylation process. |
