Reaction Steps

In 300 ml of benzene was dissolved 324.3 g of acrylic acid. Below 40° C., 327.2 g of cyclopentadiene was added dropwise to the solution over 2 hours. After agitation was continued for 12 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuum, yielding 608.5 g of 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid. The yield was 97.9%.
