Abstract: The polymerization of norbornene in the presence of either radical catalysts having a short half-life at the polymerization temperature or ethylaluminum dichloride yields a saturated polymer having a rearranged structure with 2,7 linkages. Polymerization in the presence of either Pd(C6H5CN)2Cl2 or Ziegler-Natta catalysts containing TiCI4 and A1R3 or R2 A1C1 yields a saturated polymer with 2,3 linkages.

TL;DR: In this paper, the rates of hydration of various alkenes, including propene, cyclohexene, 1-methylcyclohexenes and norbornene, were measured at 25/sup 0/C.
Abstract: The rates of hydration of ethylene, propene, 1-hexene, cyclohexene, 1-methylcyclohexene, 1-methylcyclopentene, and norbornene catalyzed by H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ and D/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, and the hydration of cyclohexene catalyzed by HClO/sub 4/ and DClO/sub 4/, all at 25/sup 0/C, were measured. Ethylene is only a factor of 24 less reactive than p-nitrostyrene at H/sub 0/ = -7.37, but has a very steep slope of log k/sub obsd/ vs. H/sub 0/ of -1.54 so that ethylene rates extrapolated to low acidities appear quite small relative to other alkenes. All of the substrates are interpreted to react by rate-determining protonation on carbon to give the corresponding carbonium ions (the A/sub SE/2 mechanism). Solvent isotope effects k/sub H/sup +///k/sub D/sup +// range from 2.82 for propene to 1.06 for cyclohexene, and are only tenuously related to absolute reactivity. Norbornene is 770 times more reactive than cyclohexene, and at least part of this difference is attributed to the unsymmetrical ..pi.. bond in this molecule endowing it with enhanced nucleophilicity on the exo face.

TL;DR: The reaction of substituted (difluoroiodo)arenes with 1-phenyl-1-(m-chlorophenyl)ethylene results in 1,1-diffluoro-1-mchlorphenyl)2-phenylethane as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The reaction of substituted (difluoroiodo)arenes with 1-phenyl-1-(m-chlorophenyl)ethylene results in 1,1-difluoro-1-(m-chlorophenyl)2-phenylethane, with 1-phenyl-1-(p-methoxyphenyl)ethylene in 1,1-difluoro-1-phenyl-2-(p-methoxyphenyl) ethane, and with 1-phenylcyclopentene and 1-phenylcyclohexene in rearranged gem-difluoro compounds. The reaction with norbornene results in three products: fluoronortricyclane (9–12%), 2-exo-7-syn-difluoronorbornane (75–86%), and 2-exo-7-anti-difluoronorbornane (5–15%) depending upon the substituent on the phenyl ring in (difluoroiodo)arenes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cyclopentanone was always formed in these reactions and the reaction of disubstituted acetylenes such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and ethyl phenylpropiolate, respectively.
Abstract: Photochemical reactions of norbornadiene with substituted acetylenes in the presence of Fe(CO)5 gave various products of different types, depending on the nature of the acetylene. The results are summarized in Table 1. The cyclopentanone 1 was always formed in these reactions. In the reaction of disubstituted acetylenes such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and ethyl phenylpropiolate, the cyclopentenones 2 and 5 were formed, respectively. By contrast, propiolic esters produced the cyclohexenones 3 and 4, in which the ester group was attached on the β carbon with respect to the keto group. Plausible mechanisms for the formation of these products are shown in Schemes 7 and 8. The reaction of diphenylacetylene gave the cyclohexendione 7 as well as the cyclopentenone 6. Two enedione products 8 and 9 were obtained from the reaction of phenylacetylene. Compound 9 was converted to the aromatic diacetate 13 by heating with acetic anhydride in pyridine. On irradiation in the presence of Fe(CO)5 norbornene reacted similarly with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and phenylacetylene to give the cyclopentenone 14 and the cyclohexenone 15, respectively. Compound 15, upon heating, isomerized to hydroquinone 16, which on acetylation gave the diacetate 17.

TL;DR: The solution and bulk copolymerization of dicyclopentadiene (DCP) and maleic anhydride (MAH) occurs over the temperature range 80 −240°C, upon the addition of a free-radical catalyst which has a short half-life at the reaction temperature as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The solution and bulk copolymerization of dicyclopentadiene (DCP) and maleic anhydride (MAH) occurs over the temperature range 80–240°C, upon the addition of a free-radical catalyst which has a short half-life at the reaction temperature. An unsaturated 1/1 MAH/DCP copolymer, derived from the copolymerization of MAH with the norbornene double bond, followed by a Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement, is obtained in the presence of a large excess of DCP at 80° C, while a saturated 2/1 MAH/ DCP copolymer, derived from the cyclocopolymerization of the residual cyclopentene unsaturation, is obtained at higher temperatures or in the presence of excess MAH. The copolymers prepared under other conditions with intermediate MAH/DCP mole ratios contain both 1/1 and 2/1 repeating units. The copolymer obtained from bulk copolymerization above 170° C contains units derived from cyclopentadiene-MAH cyclocopolymerization as well as DCP-MAH copolymerization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for the extraction of perfumes from formula I by alkylation, halides cyclization, and addition by dienophiles to form compounds of formula III.
Abstract: NEW MATERIAL:Norbornene derivatives of formula I: (R is 3-8C alkyl group at any one of the 1,- 4,- 5-, and 6-positions; X and Y form a corbonyl group together with the corbon atom at the 2-position, one of them is OH and the other is H). EXAMPLE: 1-Pentyl-5-norbornene-2-one. USE: Flower like fragrance components in compounded perfumes of general cosmetics, and mixed perfumes, e.g. perfumed water, etc. Physically and chemically stable and free from irritation and toxicity. PROCESS: Compounds of formula II are subjected to alkylation by alkyl halides cyclization, and addition by dienophiles to form compounds of formula III: (A and B are substituents equivalent to ketones). The substituents equivalent to ketones are changed to ketones to form alkyl-5-norbornene-2-ones, which are reduced to give alkyl-5-norbornene-2-ols of formula I, if necessary.
