In a process for producing tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylic acid ester by reacting tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]deca-3-ene with carbon monoxide and alcohol in the presence of HF, carried out separately are (a) a step in which tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]deca-3-ene is reacted with carbon monoxide to produce acyl fluoride and (b) a step in which acyl fluoride obtained in the step described above is reacted with alcohol to produce an ester. Also, the reaction conditions at the step (a) described above are selected or a step for carrying out isomerization reaction of tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylic fluoride obtained at the step (a) is interposed between the step (a) and the step (b). Further, the crude product of tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylic acid ester thus obtained is subjected to contact treatment with specific glycol in the presence of an acid catalyst and then distilled.
A process for producing tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylic acid ester by reacting tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]deca-3-ene with carbon monoxide and alcohol in the presence of HF, the process comprising (a) a step of reacting tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]deca-3-ene with carbon monoxide until carbon monoxide is no longer absorbed by the reaction system, to produce acyl fluoride, wherein the step (a) is carried out in the absence of alcohol, and thereafter (b) a step of adding the alcohol to the reaction system and a step of reacting the acyl fluoride produced in the step (a) with the alcohol to produce the ester.
A process for producing tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylic acid ester having a ratio of exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-endo-2-carboxylic acid ester/endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-exo-2-carboxylic acid ester of 1.0 or more, which comprises (a-1) a step of reacting tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]deca-3-ene with carbon monoxide in the presence of HF at a reaction temperature of 20° C. or higher and lower than 40° C. until carbon monoxide is no longer absorbed by the reaction system, to produce an HF solution containing tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylic fluoride including exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-endo-2-carboxylic fluoride and endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-exo-2-carboxylic fluoride, wherein the step (a-1) is carried out in the absence of alcohol, (a-2) a step in which the HF solution is held at 40 to 70° C., thereby isomerizing endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-exo-2-carboxylic fluoride into exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-endo-carboxylic fluoride, and thereafter (b-1) a step of adding the alcohol to the reaction system and a step in which tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylic fluoride obtained after isomerization in the step (a-2) is reacted with the alcohol to produce the ester.
A process for producing ethyl tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylate by reacting tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]deca-3-ene with carbon monoxide and ethanol in the presence of HF, wherein a crude product of ethyl tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane-2-carboxylate is subjected to contact treatment with glycol represented by Formula (I) in the presence of an acid catalyst:
