The invention discloses a preparation method of 1-adamantanol and belongs to the technical field of
chemical engineering. The preparation method comprises steps as follows: (1), adamantine is added to a
bromine and water mixed
system and subjected to heat preservation at three temperature stages in sequence, 1-bromoadamantane is produced through the reaction, and a mixed
system containing 1-bromoadamantane is obtained; (2), the mixed
system containing 1-bromoadamantane in the step (1) is subjected to atmospheric
distillation, excessive
bromine is separated out, temperature of the mixed system is controlled, an
aqueous solution of
sodium metabisulfite is dropwise added, a heat preservation reaction is performed, and a 1-adamantanol crude product is prepared; (3), the 1-adamantanol crude product prepared in the step (2) is added to a mixed
solvent prepared from water and an
organic solvent mutually soluble with water,
activated carbon is added, the
mixed solution is heated and filtered, filtrate is crystallized and subjected to suction
filtration, and 1-adamantanol is obtained. The preparation method is simple to operate, has low
safety risk and few three wastes, and is high in yield and suitable for industrial production.
