<h3>Overview</h3>
<p><strong>Methyl 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate</strong> (CAS 16470-98-1) is a cyclic unsaturated ester derived from norbornadiene. Its molecular formula is C<sub>9</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. This compound serves as a critical intermediate in organic synthesis, primarily produced via Diels-Alder cycloaddition and subsequent esterification.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pharmaceuticals:</strong> Synthesis of complex bicyclic scaffolds for drug candidates.</li>
<li><strong>Polymer Chemistry:</strong> Monomer for functionalized polymers with specific thermal properties.</li>
<li><strong>Agricultural Chemicals:</strong> Precursor for novel bioactive pesticide structures.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Store under inert atmosphere at cool temperatures to prevent polymerization. Avoid direct skin contact and inhalation; use appropriate PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves during handling.</p>
