β¦ Synopsis
Dicarbomethoxy-and dichlorocarbene
add to 1,2,2-trimethylbicyclo[l.l.O]butane to give derivatives of 2,3,3-trimethylpenta-1,4-diene.
These products are not predicted by the mechanism proposed earlier.
A new mechanism is suggested.

responding silyl derivatives of 7 , 8, and 9, which, because of their expected better solubility, will facilitate further physical and chemical investigations of this class of compounds.
1,3-Di(methylthio)-2,2,4,4-tetramethylbicyclo[l.l.O]butane has been synthesized by two alternate routes and has been characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. This report corrects earlier, erroneous discussions of the title compound which have appeared in the literature. As part of our
