Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

DCPD (dicyclopentadiene, Aldrich, 180 ml, 1.34 mol), butylacrylate (JUNSEI, 500 ml, 3.49 mol), and hydroquinone (2.7 g, 0.025 mol) were put in a 2 L autoclave. After heating to 190° C., reaction was carried out for 5 hours while stirring at 300 rpm. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was cooled down and transferred to a distillation unit. The reaction mixture was distilled at 1 torr using a vacuum pump at 80° C. to obtain the product (yield: 78%). The mole ratio of exo-isomers to endo-isomers of the product was 56.2:43.8.
