These data show that the compound is [lll] propellane (4). Addition of a proton may give either the bicyclo [1.1. llpentyl cation or the bicyclo [1.1. O] butyl-1-carbinyl cation. We have previously shown that both ions will give the 3-methylenecyclobutyl cation. I6*" The thermolysis product may be derived by cleavage to 3-methylenecyclobutylidene (the reverse of adding a carbene to an alkene) followed by a hydrogen migration to give 3- ...
