The synthesis of anti-tricyclo2,5>deca-3,7-diene (2) starting from the -cycloadduct 4a derived from cyclopentadiene and tropon is described.Compound 2 decomposes at 200 deg C yielding a mixture of cyclopentadiene (12), endo--dicyclopentadiene (13), anti-cis--dicyclopentadiene (14) and the cyclopentenyl-cyclopentadienes 15 and 16.The formation of a common diradical intermediate 11 in the decomposition of 2, 13 and 14 has been sought by means of the kinetic analyses of these reactions.
