The ruthenium(II)‐catalyzed [2+2] cycloadditions of anti 7‐substituted norbornenes with an alkyne were investigated. The cycloadditions were found to proceed with a high degree of stereoselectivity, giving only the exo stereoisomers in moderate to good yields using an improved protocol. Comparative rate studies between a variety of anti 7‐substituted norbornenes and an alkyne revealed that the reactivity of the alkene component decreases dramatically as the alkene becomes more electron deficient.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
