A compound having three sp2 centers in the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane skeleton, viz. hydrocarbon 1, has been synthesized as shown (R = CO2Me → CH2OH → CH2OTs). Thermolysis transforms 1 into 5‐methylene‐1,3‐cyclohexadiene, a model system for polymerization studies. (Figure Presented.) Copyright © 1978 by Verlag Chemie, GmbH, Germany
