Triorganylphosphane-modified palladium(0) compounds catalyze the codimerization of methylenecyclopropane (1) with ethylene, norbornene, dicyclopentadiene or norbornadiene to give substituted methylenecyclopentane derivatives 3-7.In all of these reactions the three-membered ring of 1 is opened between C2 and C3. 1-Alkenes, alkenes with an internal double bond and unstrained cycloalkenes as well as alkynes and 1,3-butadiene do not react in this manner.
