Abstract
Cyclopentadiene and isoprene are polymerized by 0.1 mol % (Me3P)(CO)3(NO)W-FSbF5(1), and catalysis of the Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene or butadiene with α,β-unsaturated enones is also induced by as little as 0.1 mol % 1; the X-ray structure of the adduct of 1 and acrolein, the presumed catalytic intermediate, reveals a simple Lewis acid interaction of the tungsten with the acrolein oxygen.
