The synthesis of 4,5‐dihydro‐1 H ,3 H ‐cycloprop[ f ]inden‐4‐ol ( 1 ) and diethyl 4,5‐dihydro‐1 H ,3 H ‐cycloprop[ f ]‐indene‐4,4‐dicarboxylate ( 26 ) starting from diene 4 is described. The cyclopentene ring is constructed by condensation of diethyl malonate to the dibromide 21 . The key‐step in the synthesis of 1 consists in a twofold Curtius degradation of 22 , with subsequent reduction of the carbonyl group and aromatization. The skeleton of the isomer 31 is synthesized via cycloaddition of butadiene to cyclopent‐4‐ene‐1,3‐dione ( 7 ) and addition of dichlorocarbene to the adduct 27 after ketalisation. The attempted synthesis of dihydrocycloprop[ f ]indene ( 2 ) by base‐induced elimination of several appropriately substituted precursors failed.
