We wish to report the first example of a zinc-catalyzed rearrangement of the bicycle [P.l.O]pentane ring system. Namely, the rearrangement of I-Phenylbicyclo[2.1.O]pentane(b) with a catalytic amount of zinc iodide in benzene (2 hr, 60') to give as the sole product 3-phenylcyclopentene(2a).

In valence bond description, a complex of a transition metal MxLn (x = oxidation number, L = ligand) and a carbene :CRR' (R, R' = H or carbon function) exists as a resonance hybrid consisting of the ylene form Ia and the two polar contributors, the metal-bonded carbanion Ib (ylide) and the metal-bon
