We herein describe the two-step synthesis of 6-adamantyl-2-pyridone from 1-acetyladamantane. The borane complex derived from 6-adamantyl-2-pyridone and the Piers borane liberates dihydrogen at 60 °C. The reverse reaction, hydrogen activation by the formed pyridonate borane is accomplished under mild conditions. The mechanism of the hydrogen activation is studied by DFT computations.

我们在本文中描述了从1-乙酰金刚烷两步合成6-金刚烷基-2-吡啶酮。衍生自6-金刚烷基-2-吡啶酮和Piers硼烷的硼烷络合物在60°C时释放出二氢。在温和的条件下完成逆反应，即通过形成的吡啶酸酯硼烷进行氢活化。通过DFT计算研究了氢活化的机理。
