Methyl 5-norbormene-2-carboxylate (MNBC) is a monomer that can be used to synthesize polymers. It reacts with maleic anhydride and oxetane in the presence of chloroform and a bidentate ligand such as triethylamine to produce copolymers. MNBC is typically prepared by reacting zirconium dichloride with methyl 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate in the presence of an alkene, such as ethylene or propylene. The reaction mechanism for this process is believed to involve ring opening followed by reactions between the resultant olefin polymerization products. The methyl 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate chloride has been shown to react with ammonia, which forms a white solid called aziridine. The oxetane can be reacted with hydrogen chloride, which forms hydrochloric acid and acetone. This compound also has viscos
