Abstract

Polymers based on tricyclic decane skeleton in the role of high-performance polycarbon, polyester, polyacrylate, etc., are used in optical equipment, dental restoration, photoresist, and other fields because of their rigid ring structure and corresponding excellent heat/weather/impact/scratch resistance. The preparation process of monomer tricyclodidecane dimethanol is complex and has engineering safety problems. Also, it has been monopolized by a few enterprises for a long time, and the price is expensive. There is a lack of systematic reviews on the synthesis of tricyclodecane dimethanol. In this paper, focusing on the preparation process of tricyclic decane dimethanol, the preparation process of bicyclic decane dimethanol to be prepared by dicyclopentadiene is summarized, including the reaction path, catalytic system and separation method, and the homogeneous catalysis, aqueous/organic two-phase catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis in the hydroformylation of high-carbon olefins are discussed, as well as the difference between stripping, extraction, membrane separation and other methods in the separation methods of catalyst and product. Then, the current research status at home and abroad is summarized, and the advantages and disadvantages of the above reaction methods are analyzed according to the reaction system, catalyst used, solvent, reaction conditions, and final reaction level. Finally, the downstream application and market of tricyclic decane dimethanol are analyzed. It provides a reference for the design and optimization of the preparation process of tricyclodecane dimethanol.
