title: (1-Adamant-yl)(4-amino-phen-yl)methanol.
abstract: In the racemic crystal of the title compound, C(17)H(23)NO, enanti-omers of the two crystallographically independent mol-ecules are linked into face-to-face RSdimers via inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.7610 (2) Å. The mol-ecules adopt slightly different conformations and contain an adamantane cage consisting of three fused cyclo-hexane rings in almost ideal chair conformations, with C-C-C angles varying within the range 107.2 (4)-111.4 (4)°. In the hydrogen-bonded pair, the benzene rings are almost coplanar, the dihedral angle between them being 1.29 (13)°. The mol-ecular packing in the crystal is stabilized by additional inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
