Endo-selective [2+2] cycloaddition of norbornadienes enables the synthesis of homocubanes #chemsky
Endo-selective [2+2] cycloaddition of norbornadienes enables the synthesis of homocubanes
Nature Chemistry, Published online: 10 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02201-xThe [2+2] cycloaddition of norbornadienes and alkynes usually favours the formation of the exo adducts. Now, a nickel-catalysed endo-selective [2+2] cycloaddition has been developed, which has been used to generate otherwise elusive endo-tricyclononadienes, and further derivatized via intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition to synthesize homocubanes.

![Bimanes, a class of molecules based on the 1H,7H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazole-1,7-dione scaffold, were first introduced by E. M. Kosower in 1978. In this study, we report the topochemical cycloaddition of diethyl 2,6-dichloro-1,7-dioxo-1H,7H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate (Cl2B), initiated by visible light. Crystal structure analysis confirmed that the reactive double bonds are parallel and coplanar, in line with the Schmidt criteria for topochemical cycloaddition. Additionally, two other bimane derivatives with different substitution patterns were synthesized and investigated. Our findings suggest that functionalizing bimanes to redshift their absorption maxima into the visible-light spectrum provides a promising strategy for synthesizing substituted cyclobutanes without the need for ultraviolet irradiation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ls54voiihm3bxde2dkgrxbm3/bafkreidduymtzhb44xcfbfd46fwrtmmzmgmj7u6dbks42otca4k5xfa37i)
