5-Acetyl-2-norbornene is a specialized bicyclic intermediate primarily synthesized via Diels-Alder cycloaddition of acrolein and butadiene followed by functionalization. Its molecular formula is C9H12O (CAS: 67480-03-9), serving as a critical precursor in the manufacturing of high-performance pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Store under inert atmosphere at controlled temperatures below 25°C to prevent polymerization. Strict PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves is mandatory during handling due to potential respiratory sensitization and flammability risks.
