The decarbonylative coupling reaction of diphenylketene with 2‐norbornene, catalyzed by [{RhCl(CO) 2 } 2 ], proceeds smoothly in toluene to give the corresponding substituted cyclopropane, 3,3‐diphenyltricyclo[3.2.1.0 2, 4 ]octane, in good yield. The corresponding reaction of diphenylketene with electron‐deficient terminal alkenes leads to the linear coupling products.
