norbornene
Also known as norbornylene, norcamphene, bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, 2-Norbornene, Norfenchene, 3,6-Endomethylenecyclohexene, Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene, 2-Norbornylene
Norbornene or norbornylene or norcamphene is a highly strained bridged cyclic hydrocarbon. It is a white solid with a pungent sour odor. The molecule consists of a cyclohexene ring with a methylene bridge between carbons 3 and 6. The molecule carries a double bond which induces significant ring strain and significant reactivity.
