The compound of the formula: ##STR3## wherein Rl is hydrogen or a methyl group, that is, tricyclo-[5.2.1.02,6 ]deca-8-yl methacrylate or tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6 ]-deca-8-yl acrylate, can be prepared by a conventional process for synthesizing a methacrylic or acrylic acid ester. For example, the compound of the formula (I) can be prepared by adding H2O to dicyclopentadiene to give dicyclopentenyl alcohol, which is changed to tricyclo-[5.2.1.02,6 ]deca-8-ol by catalytic hydrogenation reaction, followed by ester exchange reaction with methyl methacrylate or methyl acrylate, or condensation reaction with methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid chloride or acrylic acid chloride.
