Reaction Steps

Commercially available ethylidenenorbornene (called "EN" hereinafter) was used as the third comonomer. 82.5 g of methyl-acrylate was reacted with 54 g of cyclopentadiene in ether, and the product was purified by distillation to produce 91 g of 5-methoxycarbonylnorbornene (called "MCN" hereinafter) which was also used as the third comonomer.
