Hitherto 1,5‐cyclooctadiene (COD) was used almost exclusively as a ligand in transition metal complexes; however, Trost et al. have recently found a ruthenium‐catalyzed reaction, in which COD functions as bis‐homodiene and undergoes a cyclization with alkynes to form derivatives of the tricyclo‐[4.2.2.0 2, 5 ]dec‐7‐ene ( 1 ) in good yields. Thus, COD may now be considered as a synthetic building block.
