Novel Strained Alicyclic Hydrocarbons Based on 5-Methylene-2-norbornene

Abstract The paper describes the synthesis of novel strained hydrocarbons based on a diene norbornene series, namely 5-methylene-2-norbornene, using catalytic cyclopropanation with diazomethane. study demonstrated possibility selective solely along endocyclic double bond. physicochemical properties were investigated systematically. These shown to have an advantageous combination high density, low freezing point, and energy density value. study’s findings indicate that compounds synthesized are promising as component high-energy-density fuels for modern jet engines.
