Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

After DCPD (dicyclopentadiene, Aldrich, 397 g, 3 mol) and allyl alcohol (Aldrich, 331 g, and 5.7 mol) were put into a 2 L high pressure reactor, temperature was increased to 210° C. After a reaction was conducted for 1 hour while agitating at 300 rpm, reactants were cooled and moved to a distillator. Distillation was repeatedly conducted under reduced pressure of 1 torr using a vacuum pump twice to obtain a product at 56° C. (yield: 52%)
