Depending on the reaction conditions (2,2'-bipyridine)(η2-methylenecyclopropane)nickel (4) or the (2,2'-bipyridine)nickelacycloalkanes 5 - 8 were obtained from methylenecyclopropane (1) and (2,2'-bipyridine)(1,5-cyclooctadiene)nickel.The complexes were characterized spectroscopically and by decomposition reactions. 5 - 8 react with methyl acrylate under reductive elimination to give the cycloalkanes 2 (from 5), 3 (from 6a, b), or 9 (from 7).With CO 5 reacts additionally through an insertion to yield the cyclopentanone derivative 10.Alcoholysis of 5 with ethanol affords 2-cyclopropylmethyl-1-butene (11), whereas with phenol the new (2,2'-bipyridine)nickel complex 12 was formed.
