Abstract
Abstract 10-Bromo-10-fluorotetracyclo[6.3.1.02,7.09,11]dodeca-2,4,6-triene ( 12 ) was prepared by addition of bromofluorocarbene to benzonorbornadiene ( 10 ). Treatment of a solution of 12 in ether with MeLi in the presence of furan or styrene afforded the trapping products 14 / 15 and 16 , respectively. The formation of these trapping products confirms the formation of the title cycloallene 1 as a reactive intermediate.
