Abstract

The reaction of endo-cyclopentadiene dimer with but-2-enyl chloride, carbon monoxide, and tetracarbonylnickel in acetone–water at room temperature gives a tetracyclic acid and co-oligomers. X-Ray structural determination of the acid shows a selective cis-exo attack at the strained double bond. Some aspects of the mechanism are discussed.
