Abstract: Functional monomer-isobornyl acrylate was prepared from camphene and acrylic acid using cation exchange resin-Amberlyst 15 as catalyst. Effects of material ratio of camphene to acrylic acid, content of catalyst, types and content of inhibitors, the temperature, and the reaction time on reaction were investigated. Experimental results showed that the optimum conditions were material ratio of acrylic acid to camphene 1.3:1, content of catalyst 12%, content of phenothiazine 0.03%, and the reaction temperature 60℃. The yield of isobornyl acrylate was 83.3%, and the selectivity was 94.6% under the above conditions. The structure of isobornyl acrylate was characterized by FT-IR and GC-MS.
