Selective Hydrogenation of 5-Vinylnorborn-2-ene and Other Methods for the Synthesis of 2-Vinylnorbornane

Resumo

The existing methods for synthesizing 2-vinylnorbornane were considered comprehensively. The efficiency and feasibility of two main synthetic routes to 2-vinylnorbornane, heterocodimerization of ethylene with norbornene and selective hydrogenation of 5-vinylnorborn-2-ene, were compared on the basis of the available papers and patent data.
