In this communication flow Friedel–Crafts alkylation was studied using hydroxy‐substituted sulfonic acid‐functionalized silica as a catalyst and 1‐adamantanol as a model substrate. The reaction of 1‐adamantanol ( 1a ) with toluene ( 2a ) proceeded well with 5 min of residence time at 120°C to give good yield of 1‐tolyladamantane ( 3a ) as a 1:9 mixture of meta and para isomers. When the flow synthesis was carried out over 2.5 hr of running time, the collected five fractions contain the product 3a in 97–92% yields, suggesting the durability of the catalyst.
