Key Details
Official Description
Norbornadiene is a critical chemical used in the manufacture of fuels and cross-linked polymers. The conventional process for production of norbornadiene relies on a Diels-Alder coupling reaction between cyclopentadiene and acetylene. Acetylene air mixtures can be explosive, which has increased the cost of norbornadiene and reliance on foreign supply chains. The intent of this STTR topic is to establish a manufacturing process that will enable the safe and efficient domestic production of norbor...
