Abstract
Homo- and copolymers containing repeating units based on bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-ylmethyl decanoate(endo/exo ratio= 80/20), bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (exo/endo= 80/20), bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-methanol (endo/exo= 80/20) and bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid (100% endp) were prepared in 49-99% yields with {(η 3 -allyl)Pd(BF 4 )} and {(η 3 -allyl)Pd(SbF 6 )} as catalysts. The catalyst containing the hexafluoroantimonate ion was slightly more active than the tetrafluoroborate-based Pd complex
