In only five steps the title compound 1 can be synthesized from a bisnorbornenobenzoquinone. Intermediates en route to 1 may provide access to other interesting polycycles, for example to cyclic 1,4‐tetramers of 1,3‐cyclopentadiene such as 3 . Golcondane 1 can be considered as a dieter of 2 or a product of a double intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of 3 .
