Abstract
Hitherto 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) was used almost exclusively as a ligand in transition metal complexes; however, Trost et al. have recently found a ruthenium-catalyzed reaction, in which COD functions as bis-homodiene and undergoes a cyclization with alkynes to form derivatives of the tricyclo-[4.2.2.02, 5]dec-7-ene (1) in good yields. Thus, COD may now be considered as a synthetic building block.
