• Strained alkenes (cyclopropene, norbornene) bind very strongly to metals;
• Rehybridization on binding relieves ring strain.

• Norbornene in the Catellani reaction: “a sort of scaffold to be removed after the building of the molecule is complete; behaves as catalyst, excess necessary to push the reaction”

Advantages
• Highest catalytic activity of all rhodium catalysts used for 1,4-addition;
• Among the highest enantioselectivities (most over 90% ee);
Disadvantages
• Long synthesis of chiral diene;
• Bistriflate intermediate hard to isolate.
