Analysis of literature data in the field of synthesis and study of the physical and chemical properties of mono-, bi-, tri-, tetracyclic and adamantyl-containing esters of (meth)acrylic acids is systematized and presented in the review. The reactions under consideration involve the synthesis of these compounds by means of esterification of acids with cyclic alcohols, transesterification, as well as the addition of (meth)acrylic acids to unsaturated alicyclic hydrocarbons, etc. The main directions of the practical application of polycycloalkyl-containing (meth)acrylates are indicated. It is stressed that the functionalization of the double bond in norbornene-containing compounds makes it possible to obtain a wide class of functional derivatives with potential chemical activity. The results of studies carried out by the authors of this review on the addition of acrylic acids to the derivatives of cyclo- and polycycloolefins are presented. Studies on the synthesis of the derivatives of acrylic esters of cyclohexene, norbornene, dicyclopentadiene and tetracyclododecene containing hydroxyl, alkoxy, carboxyl, as well as siloxane, isocyanate and other nitrogen-containing groups are considered. It has been shown that these compounds are reactive monomers for obtaining practically valuable polymers used in many industrial areas.
