METHOD OF PRODUCING HIGH-DENSITY AND HIGH-ENERGY ROCKET AND AVIATION FUEL BASED ON 2-VINYL NORBORNANE (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B01J31/00 C07C2/04 C07C5/31 C06D5/00 

FIELD: fuel industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a novel two-step method of synthesis of components of high-density and high-energy rocket and aviation fuel based on 2,2'-bis(norbornanyl), which can be used as high-energy fuel, particularly rocket fuel and for long-range aviation. Described is a method of producing a high-density and high-energy rocket and aviation fuel component based on 2- vinyl norbornane, involving a Diels—Alder thermal reaction of a mixture of exo-/endo-isomers of 2-vinyl norbornane with dicyclopentadiene while heating and subsequent hydrogenation of the obtained mixture of 5-(2'-norbornanyl)norbornene isomers in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrogenation catalyst taken in ratio of 0.5–10 wt %. in relation to 5-(2'-norbornanyl)-norbornene, at room temperature and hydrogen pressure of 30–60 atm (versions).

EFFECT: technical result is high output of obtained high-density and high-energy component of rocket and aviation fuel—2,2'-bis(norbornanyl)—up to 92 % with simplicity of method, which does not require large amounts of catalyst, inert atmosphere or anhydrous reagents.
