Abstract
The reaction of chloromethyl-7-methyltricyclo[4.1.0.0(2,7)]heptane wit h methyllithium leads to either 2-methyl-3-methylenetricyclo[4.1.0.0(2 ,7)]heptane or romo-1,7-dimethyl-2-methylenebicyclo[4.1.0]heptane depe nding on the methyllithium reagent used. Both products suggest that 6- methyltetracyclo[4.2.0.0(1,7).0(5,7)]octane was formed as an intermedi ate.
