Features of heterogeneous catalytic transformations of strained carbocyclic compounds of the norbornene series

Objectives . Catalytic processes involving norbornene (NBN) and norbornadiene (NBD) offer exceptional opportunities for the synthesis of a wide range hard-to-reach polycyclic hydrocarbons. The problems selectivity manufacturability these reactions are fundamentally important their practical implementation. aim this review is to summarize latest advances in field designing heterogeneous catalysts preparation transformation promising NBN- NBD-derivatives with maintenance strained carbocyclic framework isomerization dimerization compounds. Results Various strategies selection prospects development catalysis syntheses based on NBN NBD derivatives were considered. possibility selective cyclic was shown. factors that affect direction make it possible maintain norbornane structure discussed. Conclusions An analysis current state problem showed at present, technological parameters conversion participation significantly inferior homogeneous systems. In order improve productivity design catalyst regeneration, further investigations required. However, some progress areas has already been made. number processes, not only framework, but also establish ways control regio- stereo-selectivity. cases, use allows process be direct into completely new path, which no analogues
