Significance: The authors describe a method of selective protection of symmetric diamondoid diols enabling the synthesis of unsymmetrical diamondoid derivatives. The authors first monoprotect diol 1 as a trifluoroethanol (TFE) ether in good yield. Next they convert the unprotected alcohol into an amine protected as an amide using the Ritter reaction. Exchange of the TFE ether protected alcohol to the trifluoroacetate-protected alcohol, followed by hydrolysis yields 6. A Koch–Haaf reaction followed by esterification, purification, and subsequent hydrolysis yields difunctional amino acid 8.Comment: Diamondoids of various shapes and sizes can be isolated from petroleum. Diamondoids are rigid without containing double or triple bonds, and display a negative electron affinity when irradiated with X-rays. Their inherent symmetry represents a challenge in the preparation of disubstituted derivatives in an efficient and controlled manner. The method described succeeds in part due to the solubility of diamondoid diols in TFE. It is general for the monoprotection of diamondoid, as well as benzylic and ethynyl diols.
