A comparison of reactivities, site selectivities, calculation and thermal versus high pressure (14 kbar) reaction conditions are used in a study of the coupling of bicyclic alkenes with 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles) which sets the boundary conditions for such coupling and identifies a 1,3-dipolar species as the likely intermediate.
