Abstract
The norbornene ring system, despite being composed of only five and six membered rings has a strain energy (100 kJ / mol) comparable to that of cyclopropane (115 kJ / mol). The main reasons for this high strain energy are distortions of the bond angles around the bridging CH2 group and the alkene unit, and eclipsing of the ring hydrogens due to the six-membered ring being confined to a boat conformation as shown in Figure 1.
