Under kinetic control , the dimerization of the title allene proceeds with participation of one phenyl group. Only on thermolysis of the dimer 1 is the thermodynamically favored dimer 2 formed, which, unlike the dimers of known cycloallenes with eight‐membered or smaller rings, has a cis configuration.
