The synthesis of 1‐bicyclo[3.2.2]nonene (2) and of 1 (7)‐bicyclo [3.2.2]nonene (3) , two isomeric bridged ( E )‐cycloheptenes, by intramolecular Wittig reaction is described. These ‘ Bredt olefins’ could not be isolated, but dimerized rapidly. In both cases, the main product was shown to be a head‐to‐tail dimer with a cyclobutane ring. The ‘ Bredt olefins’ were also trapped in situ with furan or 2,5‐diphenylbenzo [ c ]furan.
