2-Adamantanamine hydrochloride

2-Adamantanamine hydrochloride (CAS 10523-68-9) is a bicyclic amine salt derived from the adamantane scaffold, supplied as the hydrochloride form for improved stability and handling. It is also referenced under the names 2-Adamantamine hydrochloride and 2-Adamantaneammonium chloride. No E-code designation applies to this substance.

In pharmaceutical synthesis, this compound serves as a key building block for constructing adamantane-based drug candidates, where the rigid cage structure contributes defined steric geometry to target molecules. It also functions as a carrier intermediate in formulation research, facilitating the attachment of the adamantyl group to active pharmaceutical ingredients to modulate solubility or receptor binding profiles.

This material is available in pharmaceutical-grade crystalline powder form and is subject to REACH registration requirements for supply within the EU. Procurement teams should confirm grade specifications and batch documentation directly, as packaging formats are confirmed at the point of enquiry.
