Description

5-Norbornene-2-carboxylic acid is a reactive, carbonyl compound that has been used in metathesis reactions. In these reactions, the 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid reacts with sodium carbonate to form a mixture of hydroxy methyl and fluorine groups. The 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid can be prepared by reacting phenol with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride in the presence of sodium carbonate. This reaction produces a mixture of 5-norbornene-2 carboxylic acids, but also includes isomeric mixtures that are not useful as starting materials for synthesis. The 5-norbornene -2 carboxylic acid can also be synthesized from aliphatic hydrocarbons such as propylene or ethylene. It is important to note that the 5 - norborenene 2 carboxylic acid does not have any aromatic rings and is therefore
