Synthesis

Isobornyl acrylate is prepared by reacting (-)- borneol,triethylamine with acryloyl chloride in anhydrous THF.Dissolve (-)- borneol (1.00 g, 6.48 mmol, 1 equiv) and triethylamine (0.98 g, 9.72 mmol, 1.5 equiv) in anhydrous THF (20 mL) in a 100 mL round-bottom flask. Add acryloyl chloride (0.88 g, 9.72 mmol, 1.5 equiv) dropwise to the reaction mixture at 0 °C. Allow the reaction to stir at room temperature overnight. Filter the reaction solution. Concentrate the reaction solution on the rotary evaporator. Wash the mixture with water (20 mL). Extract the mixture with dichloromethane (3x20 mL). Dry the combined organic phases over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Filter and concentrate the residue. Purify the crude product further by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 4:1) to obtain isobornyl acrylate.
