1 3-bis (1-adamantly) Imidazolium Hydroxide Aq. Solution

1,3-bis(1-adamantyl)imidazolium hydroxide is a type of organic compound with the chemical formula C₁₉H₂₈N₂O. It is often used as a highly efficient and selective catalyst in a variety of chemical reactions. This compound is typically prepared by the reaction of 1-adamantyl chloride with imidazole, followed by deprotonation of the resulting imidazolium chloride with a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium tert-butoxide. It is usually isolated as a solid salt, which can then be dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution. It is a highly basic compound and is often referred to as a superbase.
