“…[11] Pioneering work in highly strained cyclopropenes with various polycyclic frameworks performed by Szeimies has led to some important studies of dehydroquadricyclane (4), [12a-12c] tetracyclo[4.1.0.0 2,4 .0 3,5 ]hept-3-ene (5), [12d] tricyclo[3.1.0.0 2,6 ]hex-1(6)-ene (6), [12d] and tricyclo[4.1.0.0 2,7 ]hept-1(7)-ene (7), [12e,12f] and de Meijere et al have also generated bicyclo[2.1.0]pent-1(4)-ene derivative 8. [12g] There are four 1,2-fused tricycles with a cyclopropene fused to a bicyclic ring skeleton, tricyclo[3.2.1.0 2,4 ]oct-2(4)-ene (9), [13] tricyclo[3.2.1.0 2,4 ]octa-2(4),6-diene (10), [14] tricyclo-[3.2.2.0 2,4 ]non-2(4)-ene (11), [15] and tricyclo[3.2.2.0 2,4 ]nona-2(4),6-diene (12), [16] all of which have been generated and trapped (Scheme 2).
