High yields of the title adducts are obtained from an essentially salt-free process comprising contacting at subambient temperature cyclopentadiene or a substituted cyclopentadiene with an aliphatic or an inertly-substituted aliphatic ester of an alpha , beta -ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, such as methyl acrylate, in the presence of a catalytic amount of base, such as tri-n-butylmethylammonium hydroxide. A novel class of Diels-Alder adducts are readily obtained by warming these Michael adducts; polyester compositions comprising the Diels-Alder adducts demonstrate good physical properties.
