What is a Norbornene (C₇H₁₀)?

Norbornene (C₇H₁₀) is a bicyclic organic compound characterized by its unique structure. It is a cycloalkene with a double bond and a seven-carbon atom ring structure known as the norbornane ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless, volatile liquid with an aromatic odor.

Norbornene plays an important role as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is commonly used in the production of various polymers, and norbornene derivatives are applied in high-performance materials and engineering plastics. Additionally, norbornene-based synthetic rubbers, such as ethylene-norbornene copolymers, are produced and used in automotive and electronic components.
