Predict the major, organic product for the following reaction.

The figure illustrates the structure of a polymer. A 5-carbon pentagonal ring is in a vertical orientation with C 1 occupying the topmost vertex. C 2 is single bonded to C H 3 above in the form of a line. C 5 is single bonded to C H 3 above in the form of a line. C 2 is single bonded to C H on the upper right in the form of a line. C 5 is single bonded to C H on the upper left in the form of a line. The entire structure is enclosed within square brackets with subscript n. A double bond from C H single bonded to C 5 extends across the left bracket. A double bond from C H single bonded to C 2 extends across the right bracket.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the starting material: The first image shows a norbornene structure, which is a bicyclic compound with a double bond.

Recognize the reagent: The second image shows a ruthenium catalyst, specifically a Grubbs catalyst, which is used for olefin metathesis reactions.

Understand the reaction type: Olefin metathesis involves the exchange of alkene fragments by breaking and reforming carbon-carbon double bonds, often leading to polymerization.

Predict the product: The reaction will likely result in a polymerization process, forming a poly(norbornene) structure. The repeating unit will be based on the norbornene structure, with the double bonds rearranged.

Consider stereochemistry and regiochemistry: The polymerization may lead to different stereochemical outcomes, but the major product will be a polymer with the norbornene units linked through the metathesis process.
