Synthesis of 5-vinyl-2-norbornene based on the Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene(CPD) generated from dicyclopentadiene(DCPD) and 1,3-Butadiene(BD) have been investigated in a continuous tube reactor under high temperature and high pressure. The experimental results show that the concentration of main product 5-vinyl-2-norbornene(VNB) increases with the increasing of reaction time at low reaction temperature. The elevated temperature greatly promotes the synthesis rate of both product VNB and its isomer cis-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydroindene(THI)and tricyclopentadiene(TCPD), resulting in a mountain-shape curve of VNB concentration versus the reaction time. Particularly, it has been confirmed that the trimer (4,4a,4b,5,8,8a,9,9a-octahydro-1H-1,4-methanofluorene(OMF) should be prepared by direct reaction of BD with DCPD rather than by the reaction of CPD with VNB or THI. This comprehensive study can laid a solid foundation for the process optimization of VNB synthesis.
