Adafenoxate is a compound related tocentrophenoxine, that has been found to act as anootropic in rats.[1]
Adafenoxate can be prepared starting with 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (pCPA) by converting it to its acid chloride to give 4-chlorophenoxyacetyl chloride (1).[2]Esterification with 2-(1-adamantylamino)ethanol (2) gives adafenoxate (3).

Alternatives, the final step can be accomplished viaFischer–Speier esterification using aDean-Stark trap.
