Abstract
[Ru(cod)(cot)] catalyses an unusual dimerization of norbornadiene to g ive (1,7).1(3,6).0(10,13).0(12,14)]tetradeca-4,8-diene in high yield ( 85%) with high selectivity, the structure of which is established by X -ray analysis of its brominated derivative, .0(10,13).0(12.14)]-4,5,8, 9-tetrabromotetradecane, to have five five-membered rings as a result of multi-carbon-carbon bond activation.
