76. 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (1:1 EtOAc/petroleum spirits) to afford the pure product in the yield stated.
77. See Supplementary data for temperature, pressure, and power profiles for this reaction.
78. For the reaction of quadricyclane with DMAD, see: C.D. Smith J. Am. Chem. Soc. 88 1966 4273 4274. Yields of the second addition of DMAD to form 10 are typically modest: see Ref. 8d
79. Mitsudo, in Ref. 8d, reported <10% yield of 10 using the twin addition approach from norbornadiene.
80. The reaction was trialled using diphenylacetylene as the alkyne partner, however, only a trace of the desired product was detected in the crude reaction mixture.
