There is nothing puzzling about the dimerization of pleiadene . Previous reports of the anti ‐specific dimerization of pleiadene, dating back to 1965, are incorrect. Thermally induced pleiadene dimerization is not anti ‐specific. Above the melting point of either dimer, a mixture of syn and anti dimers is produced (depicted). The dimers were separated and their X‐ray crystal structures determined. Vinylated pleiadene polymerizes to a highly thermally stable material.
