A surprising ring contraction to give derivatives 2 and 3 of indeno[2, 1‐ a ]indene is observed in the reaction of 1 with organolithium compounds (R = alkyl, Ph; R 1 , R 2 = H, alkyl, Ph). The expected nucleophilic substitution of 1 has so far only been accomplished in one case: with CuCN, the tetracarbonitrile 1 , CN instead of Br, is formed.
