Reaction Steps

A C5 fraction obtained from a naphtha cracking was heated at a temperature of 150° C. for 3 hours, whereby cyclopentadiene contained therein was converted into dicyclopentadiene. Then, the resultant mixture was distilled to strip a light fraction. Thus, a crude dicyclopentadiene containing 4.8% of a C5 fraction, 0.5% of benzene 77.1% of dicyclopentadiene, 7.2% of isoprene-cyclopentadiene codimer, 8.2% of cyclopentadiene oligomer and 2.2% of unknown components was obtained.
