An easy approach to the novel adamantane isomer 1,2 endo ‐trimethylenenorbornane (2) is described. Starting from a mixture of pent‐4‐ynylcyclopentadienes 3 the tricyclic monosaturated key intermediate 5 was prepared by intramolecular cycloaddition (→ 4 ) and subsequent regioselective reduction of the C(5), C(6) double bond. The title hydrocarbon 2 was obtained from 5 upon stereoselective hydrogenation by diimide. In addition specifically deuteriated analogues of 2 were prepared applying dideuteriodiimide. Compound 2 rearranged to 2 endo , 6 endo ‐trimethylenenorbornane (4‐homobrendane, 10 ) in sulfuric acid as well as with aluminium bromide in carbon disulfide.
