title: N-(2-Hydroxy-ethyl)-N-(tricyclo-[3.3.1.1]dec-2-yl)benzamide.
abstract: The title adamantane derivative, C(19)H(25)NO(2), was synthesized as part of a study into potential anti-tuberculosis agents. The adamantane skeleton displays shorter than normal C-C bond lengths ranging between 1.5230 (15) and 1.5329 (16) Å. The structure displays O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and an inter-digitated layered packing structure with distinct hydro-philic and hydro-phobic regions.
