Synthesis of Norbornene Derivative Using Diels-Alder Reaction

Cyclopentadiene is an important material for making norbornene, and can synthesize norbornene dicarboxylic ester through the maleate and Diels-Alder reaction. Also, a structure similar to that of the representative PVC plasticizer dioctyl phthalate(DOP) was synthesized, so as to confirm the structure of compounds through 1H-NMR, FT-IR, Mass, and HPLC, and to compare the basic properties with those of DOP.
