Q. Do you think both (1) and (2) are acceptable?
(1) Although he’s got brains, he’s not exactly good-looking.
(2) He’s got brains, although he’s not exactly good-looking.
Is it possible that the sentences (1) and (2) are paraphrased with "In spite of the fact that he's got brains, he's not exactly good-looking"? Or "he’s got brains, but he’s not exactly good-looking"?

Yuko,
You have earned a black belt in the use of the conjunction ALTHOUGH.
At the beginning of a sentence is correct.
(1) Although he’s got brains, he’s not exactly good-looking.
In the middle of a sentence is also correct.
2) He’s got brains, although he’s not exactly good-looking.
Don't use ALTHOUGH as the first word of a sentence followed by a comma with a period at the end.
WRONG------- Although, he's got brains.
