Mechanism of initiation of the metathesis of norbornene using W(CO)3Cl2(AsPh3)2as catalyst

Abstract
Low molecular-weight derivatives obtained during ring-opening polymerization of norbornene using W(CO)3Cl2(AsPh3)2 as catalyst indicate that a 2,3-hydrogen shift is a key step for the formation of the carbene initiator.
