13. The target 2-(bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-1-yl)acrylates produced for an ultimate use in low-shrinkage dental composites, must remain colorless even after extended exposure to air and light. They also should have minimal biological activity, e.g. cytotoxity.

21. 2 is essential. All attempts to perform the bicyclization either under ligand-free conditions, or in the presence of less ligand either failed completely or led to immediate formation of palladium black.
22. Trialkyl phosphites are known to be able to reduce palladium(II) to palladium(0), see: I. P. Beletskaya, A. V. Cheprakov, Chem. Rev. 2000, 100, 3009-3066.
23. The favorable role of the quaternary ammonium halide most probably is to provide an appropriate concentration of halide ions which help to stabilize the palladium(0) species, see: C. Amatore, A. Jutand, Acc. Chem. Res. 2000, 33, 314-321.
24. It is noteworthy, that the use of a tetraalkylammonium iodide causes immediate formation of palladium black.

30. An attempted bicyclization of 7g in glacial acetic acid gave only a trace amount (ca. 5%) of the corresponding bicyclic acrylic acid.
