1. Basic Product Profile
- Full IUPAC Name: Adamantan-1-amine hydrochloride
- Aliases: Amantadine HCl, 1-Adamantylamine hydrochloride
- CAS Number: 665-66-7
- EINECS: 211-560-2
- Molecular Formula: C10H18ClN
- Molecular Weight: 187.71
- Chemical Classification: Antiviral & anti-Parkinson API, adamantane derivative pharmaceutical raw material
- Core Advantages

2. Physical & Chemical Properties
2.1 Physical Index
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water, methanol, ethanol; slightly soluble in acetone; insoluble in ether, aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Melting Point: 360–365 °C (sublimation with decomposition)
- Aqueous Solution pH: 4.0–6.0 (weakly acidic)
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity environment
2.2 Chemical Properties
- Cage adamantane skeleton + ammonium chloride salt structure: Stable rigid hydrocarbon framework, low metabolic toxicity
- Salt dissociation: Dissociates into C10H18N1+ and Cl1- in water; neutralized by alkali to precipitate free 1-adamantanamine
- Acid & Alkali Stability: Stable under neutral and weak acidic conditions; strong alkali releases free adamantylamine
- Thermal Stability: Sublimes at high temperature without massive decomposition
- Photostability: Stable under normal indoor light; avoid long-term intense UV irradiation to prevent discoloration
- Compatibility: Compatible with neutral pharmaceutical excipients; incompatible with strong alkaline substances, heavy metal precipitants
3. Main Application Fields
