N2  - Succinimide-functionalized N,O-, N,C-, and N,N-bridged benzo[2]polynorbornanes (benzosesquinorbornadienes) are reported for the first time and are prepared by the cycloaddition of either five-membered cyclic 1,3-dienes onto N-substituted benzo-7-azanorbornadienomaleimides or N-substituted isoindoles onto the appropriate norbornadienomaleimides. These products contain an end-fused norbornene (or a 7-substituted relative) and have been designed to act as alkene BLOCKs for the production of nano-scaffolds with up to six addressable sites supplied by each norbornene unit. The N-bridges in these BLOCKs (and their coupled products) allow N-substituent mobility by invertomerization of the sp3 nitrogen whereas the N-substituents on the succinimides are attached to an sp2 nitrogen atom and remain static. Preferred invertomer geometry can be determined using molecular modelling.
