A remarkable pressure dependence is exhibited by the reaction of 11‐methylene‐1,6‐methano[10]annulene with dicyanoacetylene. At normal pressure, one obtains the 1:1 adduct 1a/1b , a fluxional system that is the first example of its kind of a methylenenorcaradiene/heptafulvene valence tautomerism. At 7000 bar, the main product formed is the 2:1 adduct 2 . Despite the less favorable geometry, 2 must have been formed by [8+2] cycloaddition of dicyanoacetylene to 1b.
