An ab initio MO computational study of the Diels-Alder addition of ethylene to butadiene reveals a symmetrical transition state and a concerted reaction profile. Extended Htickel MO calculations on the endo.exo product distribution in [4 + 2] reactions of cyclopentadiene indicate, within the range of intermolecular distances investigated, that the ewdo-orientation is energetically favoured. A study of the relationship between isomer distribution and solvent polarity in the reactions of cyclopentadiene with acrylonitrile and with methyl acrylate reveals that the endo-adduct. dicyclopentadiene and exo-adduct rdicyclopentadiene ratios are increased linearly with the empirical solvent polarity factor The favoured endo-... 

The first method of transformation of living ROMP into controlled/ living ATRP was reported by Matyjaszewski for the preparation of diblock copolymers. Thus, macroinitiators were prepared by ROMP of norbomene (Scheme 5) or dicyclopentadiene and subsequent Wittig-like reactions with /7-(bromomethyl)benzaldehyde. In these cases, the ROMP of norbomene was terminated with a terminating reagent that could also function as an ATRP initiator. Thus, these compounds were used as efficient macroinitiators for homogeneous controlled/ living ATRP to prepare block copolymers with styrene and methyl acrylate (Scheme 6) [21]. 

Of the dienes, butadiene appears to have been the earliest to have been evaluated. Although it allowed accelerated sulphur vulcanization this was to the detriment of heat and oil resistance. More recently, non-conjugated dienes such as those used with EPDM rubbers have been quoted in the patent literature. These include dicyclopentadiene and methyl cyclopentadiene. A French patent (Tellier and Grimaud, 1968) quotes the use of tetrahydrobenzyl acrylate (VIII).
