Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 16 g of 4-oxatricyclo[4.2.1.03,7]non-5-yl acetate, 40 g of methacrylic acid, and 16 mg of 2,2′-methylenebis(6-t-butyl-p-cresol) was heated at 50° C. under atmospheric pressure for 30 minutes, after which under a reduced pressure of 0.20 kPa, the reaction mixture was heated for 18 hours for distilling off the acetic acid formed. The reaction mixture was purified by distillation, obtaining 17 g (yield 91%) of the target compound.
