Sequential insertion of 1‐lithio‐1,1‐dihaloalkanes and lithium acetylides into zirconacyclopentenes and ‐pentanes affords complex bicyclo[3.3.0]octenes and bicyclo[3.3.0]octanes through a novel rearrangement of a zirconium–alkynyl to a zirconate—alkenylidene species (see scheme; Cp=cyclopentadienyl).
