Abstract
The strained caged alkyne bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yne, previously reported to be inaccessible, was generated via the Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell rearrangement of 7-norbornylidene carbene. Computational experiments predict the alkyne to be more stable than its corresponding alkylidenecarbene, and both of these intermediates can be intercepted with the use of appropriate trapping agents.
