Th er m a l r ea ction a t -20 °C. The general procedure was
followed starting from 131 mg (0.384 mmol) of Co2(CO)8 in 5
mL of pentane and 130 mg (0.32 mmol) of (()-1-[trans-2,5-
bis(benzyloxymethyl)pyrrolidino]-2-(trimethysilyl)acetylene, 7d.
After desilylation, 100 mg (0.161 mmol, 50%) of complex 12d
was obtained as a green oil. This complex was dissolved in 5
mL of toluene, the mixture was cooled to -20 °C, and 160 mg
(1.7 mmol) of norbornadiene was added to the system. After
12 h of stirring at -20 °C, the mixture was filtered through a
short pad of Celite and purified by column chromatography
to afford 24 mg (32%) of 13d as an oil. HPLC analysis
