METHOD OF PRODUCING NORBORNANE DERIVATIVES Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C07C13/61 C07C5/03 C07C5/05 C07C61/135 C07C51/36 C07C253/30 C07C255/52 C07C255/53 B99Z99/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing norbornane derivatives of general formula where R=H, R¹=CN, or R-R¹=-CH=CH-CH₂-. The method involves hydrogenation of the norbornene derivative with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of a catalyst, and is characterised by that the catalyst used is nickel nanoparticles obtained from its nitrate (II) in situ, and the norbornene derivative used is dicyclopentadiene or 2-cyanonorbornene-5 and the process is carried out in the medium of isopropyl alcohol with molar ratio norbornene derivative: hydrazine hydrate: catalyst equal to 1:5.3-6:0.4-0.6 at temperature 80-82°C for 8 hours followed by extraction of the end product.

EFFECT: use of the present method enables to obtain desired compounds without using hydrogen gas, expensive catalysts and complex process conditions.
