## Abstract The chemistry of the highly substituted cyclobutanone derivative 2, which is easily accessible from 1, is dominated by the steric hindrance caused by the substitutents: Reduction with hydride reagents and nucleophilic additions with methyllithium are less stereoselective than correspond

✦ Synopsis
Gas phase thermolysis of methyl‐bicyclo [3.2.0] hept‐2‐en‐7‐ones.
Irradiation of methylnorbornenones 5a, 5b, 5c and 5e leads to the methyl‐bicyclo‐[3.2.0]hept‐2‐en‐7‐ones 4a, 4b, 4c and 4e, respectively. Upon flash thermolysis of these βγ‐unsaturated ketones dihydrotolualdehydes 9 and 10 and tolualdehydes 11 are formed as major products. The formation of these aldehydes is rationalized as involving methyl substituted ketenes 6 and conjugated heptatrienaldehydes 7 as intermediates. From the position of the methyl group in the stable pyrolysis products 9, 10 and 11 the occurrence of a thermally induced [1, 5]‐sigmatropic shift of the formyl group in 1,2‐dihydro‐tolualdehyde 8 is inferred.

## Abstract Bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane‐__endo__‐ and ‐__exo__‐3‐diazonium ions (15, 17) were generated by diazotization of the analogous amines (12, 14) as well as by photolysis of bicyclo[3.2.0]‐heptan‐3‐one tosylhydrazone (13). In contrast to solvolyses of the corresponding tosylates (8, 11), the dedi
