An adamantanemethanol derivative of the invention is represented by the following formula (1), wherein R
a
is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group; R
b
is a hydrocarbon group having a carbon atom, to which carbon atom at least one hydrogen atom is bonded, at a bonding site with the adjacent carbon atom; R
c
, R
d
and R
e
are each a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group which may be protected by a protective group or the like; provided that a hydroxyl group protected by a protective group or the like is bonded to at least one carbon atom constituting the adamantane skeleton when R
a
is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and R
b
is a methyl group; and at least one substituent, in addition to the HO—C(R
a
) (R
b
)— group indicated in the formula (1), is bonded to the adamantane ring when one of R
a
and R
b
is a methyl group and the other is an ethyl group.
