title: Ruthenium-catalyzed dimerization of 7-oxabicyclo[2,2,1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxylates.
abstract: The ruthenium catalyzed dimerization of oxanorbornadiene dicarboxylates was studied. The effects of the ester moiety and the addition of a C1 substituent to the bicyclic alkene on the reaction were explored, and moderate yields and excellent regioselectivities were obtained.
