The results of the studies into the synthesis of ether derivatives of nornornene series, their properties and application areas are analyzed. The main directions of the use of ether derivatives of norbornene, as well as the ways and prospects of their further application, are shown. A broad application of norbornene ethers as additives to synthetic oil and fuel compositions, plasticizers, modifying agents and hardeners, as components in the perfumery industry, antimicrobial and antifungal preparations, catalysts and cocatalysts are highlighted. It is demonstrated that adding these esters to diesel fuel leads to a significant improvement in its thermal oxidation stability, a decrease in its pour point and an increase in the flash point. The ethers of norbornene series are considered as new functionally substituted monomers for the synthesis of modified norbornene-containing polymers and co-polymers. It has been established that fluorine-substituted norbornene-containing ethers are applied as a matrix material for photoresists used in microlithography.
