✦ Synopsis

Both unsubstitutedand7-alkylated norbornenes and norbomadienes react with iron carbonyls to afford, along with other products, dimeric ketones (cyclopentanones) whose carbon skeletons possess 1-5 the exo-trans-exo (XTX) configuration.

---The only non-XTX dimeric ketone which has thus far been re-
