The condensation of phenol with methyl 1-adamantyl ketone in the presence of aluminum phenolate leads to the formation of 1-(1-adamantyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-ethene, 1-(1-adanamtyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethene, 3-methyl-2,3-(3,4-homoadamantano)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran, and also the dimer and trimer of the initial ketone, i.e., 1,3-di(1-adamantyl)-2-buten-1-one and 1,3,5-tri(1-adamantyl)benzene. In an acidic medium 3-methyl-2,3-(3,4-homoadamantano)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran is in equilibrium with 1-(1-adamantyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethene.
