Norbornadiene is an organic compound and a bicyclic hydrocarbon. Norbornadiene is of interest as a metal-binding ligand, whose complexes are useful for homogeneous catalysis. It has been intensively studied owing to its high reactivity and distinctive structural property of being a diene that cannot isomerize (isomers would be anti-Bredt alkenes). Norbornadiene is also a useful dienophile in Diels-Alder reactions.
Synthesis
[edit]Norbornadiene can be formed by a Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and acetylene[1]
Norbornadiene synthesis
Reactions
[edit]Quadricyclane, a valence isomer, can be obtained from norbornadiene by a photochemical reaction when assisted by a sensitizer such as acetophenone:[2]
The norbornadiene-quadricyclane couple is of potential interest for solar energy storage when controlled release of the strain energy stored in quadricyclane back to norbornadiene is made possible.[3]
Norbornadiene is reactive in cycloaddition reactions. Norbornadiene is also the starting material for the synthesis of diamantane[4] and sumanene and it is used as an acetylene transfer agent for instance in reaction with 3,6-di-2-pyridyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine.[5]
As a ligand
[edit]Norbornadiene is a versatile ligand in organometallic chemistry, where it serves as a two-electron or four-electron donor. (Norbornadiene)molybdenum tetracarbonyl is used as a source of "Mo(CO)4", exploiting the lability of the diene ligand in this case.[6] which is a useful source of "chromium tetracarbonyl," e.g. in reactions with phosphine ligands.
The norbornadiene analogue of cyclooctadiene rhodium chloride dimer has been used in homogeneous catalysis. Chiral, C2-symmetric dienes derived from norbornadiene have also been described.[7][8]
