In the presence of a catalytic amount of bis(acrylonitrile)nickel(0), bicyclopentane suffers from the cleavage of the central ? bond and cycloadds to electron-deficient olefins such as methyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, dimethyl maleate, and dimethyl fumarate to give bicycloheptane derivatives.The stereochemistry and mechanism of the catalyzed cycloadditions have been elucidated by use of deuterated bicyclopentanes.
